Animation Brings Science to Life

摘要

Communicating complex scientific and technological concepts to a variety of audiences may seem daunting to some, but for Lawrence Livermore animator Michael Loomis, it is all in a day's work. Through animation, Loomis helps scientists and engineers effectively explain their ideas and research to peers, colleagues, laypeople, and decision makers. He blends his knowledge of computer science, art, and communications to create technically accurate, aesthetically pleasing visualizations that bring science to life. Loomis's work shows how visual representations are critical in making technical material accessible to broad audiences.
