This week's webinar is entitled "Making Science Animations: New
Possibilities for Making Science Accessible to the Public," and will be
presented by Maxime Geoffroy and Mathieu Ardyna, PhD Students at Laval
University and Takuvik Joint International Laboratory. The webinar will
give some tips about the creation of an animation, based on the
experience of four graduate students who built science animations to
communicate their own research findings. The current need for
informative communication products (e.g. visualization technologies such
as 'flying' explorations of geographic and geo-referenced data, zooms
and rotations of three-dimensional data, and animated and sequential
displays of X-Y) is to establish and reinforce links between science and
the public to raise the general consciousness.
