Biomedical animations inspire and educate. Three biomedical animations that accurately represent human biology at the molecular level recently made their debut to the public and are establishing science as a vibrant part of modern culture. Created by Dr Kate Patterson from the Garvan Institute of Medical Research, Chris Hammang from CSIRO and Dr Maja Divjak from the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute, the animations provide an inspiring way of engaging people and communicating complex science concepts. Using the same animation software as Dreamworks, Pixar Animation Studios and video game makers, the animations were made under the artistic direction of renowned biomedical animator Drew Berry from WEHI as part of the VIZBIplus project - Visualising the Future of Biomedicine - jointly led by Dr Patterson, Dr Sean O’Donoghue from CSIRO and Garvan, and Drew Berry. “We are in the middle of a communication revolution, and I see animation as one of the keys to unlocking the mysteries of science,” Dr O’Donoghue said. “In modern science, we are discovering very complex phenomena that are often hard to communicate because they are occurring at a molecular scale. Biomedical animations have the power to make these invisible events visible.” Cancer Is Not One Disease by Garvan Institute of Medical Research: youtu.be/BlajAw8exg4 Read more lifescientist.au/content/life-sciences/article/biomedical-animations-inspire-and-educate-173117261
