It is an absorbing entry point for our audiences to understand a critical component of UCSF. Science-based imagery can include microscopic imagery or still-life details of research, equipment, robotics, tools and objects.</p> <p><img alt="photo collage" height="1021" src="/sites/g/files/tkssra266/f/wysiwyg/science.png" width="1604" /></p> <p><a id="style" name="style"></a></p> <h2>Style Considerations</h2> <div class="wysiwyg_twocols layout--60-40"> <div class="wysiwyg_twocols--first"> <h5>AUTHENTICITY + NATURAL LIGHT</h5> <hr /> <p><img alt="patient and family with doctor" height="1904" src="/sites/g/files/tkssra266/f/wysiwyg/UCSF_21070520_Skin%20cancer_013.jpg" width="2938" /></p> </div> <div class="wysiwyg_twocols--second"> <p> </p> <p>Whenever possible, capture people with genuine expressions.
