Richard Johnston explains how images can start conversations about research. A Professor of Engineering at Swansea University, Richard is also the founder of the Research as Art project, which encourages researchers to share images as a way of starting conversations about their research. In this talk, recorded at the Volcano Theatre as part of the BBC's Biggest Weekend, he reveals how one particular image - and the description which came with it - changed his understanding of the real value of his initiative. Producer: Peter Snowdon.
