New Showreel for my studio!
If you enjoy scientific animations- you know where to find me.
#scicomm #science #animation3d #b3d
Very pleased with the turnup for the science visualization meetup at #BCON26 . Had a great time preparing it and hope to see you again next year!
Paper strips that lock into 3D shapes with vacuum and stay put without power.
Westlake researchers just cracked energy-efficient tactile interfaces for VR and accessibility. The physics behind spatiotemporal jamming is genuinely wild.

Cotton in, landfill out.
Our new animation with Westlake University reveals origami robots made from biodegradable cellulose shells and gelatin sensors: functional today, compostable tomorrow.
Sustainable robotics is unfolding fast.

Ever tried explaining your niche research without confusing everyone to death?
Here's a quick tip I learned at the Weizmann Institute - the Funnel approach! 🔽
#scicomm
ALT A clean, professional diagram showing the Funnel Approach in scientific communication. The funnel shape narrows from top to bottom, with five labeled sections: Common Background Knowledge at the top, followed by Field-Specific Problem, Previous Approaches, Your Approach, and Latest Achievements at the bottom.
Tweet 2: The idea is simple:
Start with common background
1. Present the field's problem
2. Review previous approaches
3. Introduce your solution
4. Focus on your specific findings
5. Simple but effective! 🎯
I love it when clients integrate my animation in their presentations.
It's 2024, it's okey if your slide has motion.
The publication our latest video is based on:
Valenti, David, Schuldiner et al. @WeizmannScience created a proteome-wide yeast degron library for rapid in vivo protein depletion. This tool enables dynamic protein function studies with minimal cellular rewiring, advancing beyond prior collections. hubs.la/Q0302VkW0
Can we bring scientific communication to the 21st century?
Commercial companies invest heavily in communicating their products. Imagine if peer reviewed research was promoted with similar rigor?
Here's our attempt to bring research to the spotlight

Want to know what separates good scientific explainers from unforgettable ones?
Here's a secret many overlook:
The power of rewatchability value through background details.
Both these effects combine together to largely increase your explainer’s impact on the target audience.
The key to Re-watch value?
Hidden details, subtle references, and carefully crafted backgrounds that reveal new insights with each viewing.
The more complex the science, the simpler the visuals should be.
Here is a short clip from an explainer video I did for a new approach to quantum computing, using a combination of photons and atoms for the entanglement process.
#quantum #scicomm #blender3d #science
Earlier this year I got to create a short explainer about a very surprising approach to quantum computing - using photons (instead of atoms) as qubits for better scalability.
The science behind it turned out fascinating!
#quantum #blender3d #scicomm
Quantum computing is still in its infancy, which gives us the scientific animators, a rare opportunity to design the visual language that will be associated with this field.
That said, atomic qubits are already fixed on being depicted as spheres in a laser trap.
#Scicomm
The concept of 'quantum entanglement' however still doesn't have a widely accepted visual language.
The symbol '∞' is often used, but if the entangled objects are far apart the visualization can become challenging.
Here I just used some glowing voodoo.
