Abstract
Janet Iwasa creates accurate animations to help scientists better visualize and communicate the mechanisms they study. Her award-winning illustrations and animations have appeared in scientific journals, the New York Times, on television, and in museum exhibits. In her talk, she will discuss how researchers can use molecular animation to further their scientific understanding and engage diverse audiences, providing examples from her animation projects. She will also discuss software projects that focus on enabling researchers to create their own visualizations. Throughout the talk, she will share stories of how she took her career in this novel direction and what she has learned about engaging with the public about science.
Series This talk is part of the MRC LMB Seminar Series series.
