Some of the most exciting and groundbreaking work being done at the forefront of science and technology is happening where disciplines intersect.

Michelle Borkin found that using 3D visualization software commonly used in medicine could also reveal the hidden secrets of the cosmos.

And she joins Word of Mouth to explain just what this field entails.
