One of Science’s favorite photos of 2019 was taken in Penn Engineering’s Raisler Lounge. 

There, Danielle Bassett, Peter Skirkanich Professor of Bioengineering, poses underneath a giant visualization of the brain’s structural connections, projected on the wall behind her. Dr. Bassett’s research combines elements of physics, mathematics, engineering and neuroscience to provide a new look at how brain function arises from these networks of neurons. The image was made from MRI data.
