Animated on blender, motor proteins walking down microtubule #science #molecularbiology #cellbiology #stem #biology

Thank you so much for the feedback. I thought I’d explain the basics of PCR in part 1, then do an rtPCR follow up for a part 2, that shows how adding fluorescent probes allows for real time readouts.

Thank you, I initially thought about animating the directionality, but since this is PCR not DNA replication, and I knew I did not intend to cover directionality in the script, I actually thought that showing it on the animation would’ve been unhelpful. But yes! Important concept to teach in future

An animation on the importance of units and decimal places predominantly using Manim CE made #science #scientificpractice #scicom #sciencecommunication

I used Manim python library and Blender to make a PCR video, please check it out and tell me what you think!

Work in progress cartoon using Blender, Brady Johnston’s molecular nodes and PDB data from rcsb.org (don’t worry, more protons to come).

A few things to consider about biomedical science

#science #stem #biomedicalscience

I see what you are saying here.

I was not using “learning styles” to refer to theories about learning, but literally to those styles/ways/modes that people learn… those individual preferences you refer to.

Thanks for the clarification, I might of said ways of receiving information.

Thank you for this brilliant set of replies.

Yes, this is very close to what I took YouTube-y to mean. Great adjective.

I agree, I’m disheartened by the people who could be reached by a less accusatory critique.

Thank you. This is another concern, “how and when do we give constructive criticism?” And “are public call outs ever useful/acceptable?”.

If I understand your adjective use there “YouTube-y” 🙏🏽, the second video Dave makes is a lot more of what you likely didn’t enjoy in the first.

Personalising our writing puts science into the context of everyday life, as you said, and also brings scientists as a group, closer to publics we engage in.

Thank you.

YouTube video by Professor Dave Explains The Problem With Sabine Hossenfelder

2 videos were produced by Professor Dave and 1 by Sabine. Both of Dave’s directly call out Sabine. Sabine’s video was framed as a reply but did not call out the channel by name.

Dave 1. youtu.be/70vYj1KPyT4?...

Sabine 2. youtu.be/HQVF0Yu7X24?...

Dave again 3. youtu.be/6P_tceoHUH4?...

Did you see Professor Dave and Sabine Hossenfelder’s exchange?

How should we do science communication?

Publics have diverse learning styles, so communicators need a plurality of teaching styles.

But, communicating science can be done ‘wrong’ to the extent of pushing anti-science narratives.

What are your thoughts? #science #sciencecommunication #scicomm 🧪

Absolutely! Congratulations on securing the project it sounds like a great opportunity.

The donuts tutorials are the best, the newest version 4 release is really comprehensive too

When you get started you, if you ever need a hand or resources I’m happy to help 😊

This is great to hear! You might be aware of the steepness of the learning curve, but there is a wealth of online material to support your learning, and a very welcoming community.

Thank you for the encouragement!

Best wishes with your project.

This has given me the idea to 3D print these and use them in face to face demonstrations! Thank you

Around the world, it seems, governments have shown a complete lack of urgency towards fixing these shortages.

Neurodivergence is poorly understood, as ableist stigma still surrounds the topic. But, from first hand experience, these delays and shortages are ruining people’s lives.

Thank you so much for resharing this. 🙏🏽

I hope you have a great time 🙌🏽

Thank you! 🙏🏽

I love sculpting and modelling assets in blender. This brain took ages! But I’m happy with the way it turned out.

I can’t stop singing this programs praises! It’s a steep learning curve but totally worth it.

Thank you

Feedback would be great

Hey everyone!

For a few years I’ve been committed to growing as an accurate, non-sensational content creator and scientific communicator…. Taking the less hyperbolic path is less engaging, so I need a little help from you, if you’re willing, please share and follow ❤️

Miscommunication can lead to multiversal mistakes! Thanks for the clarifying video @blitzphd.bsky.social

Hey everyone, I’m Mitch

I’m a PhD neuroscience student and beginner science communicator and animator.

I would really appreciate support for my TT page from more science and philosophy minded people, which bluesky is full of.

Thank you

This style didn’t seem to garner engagement. What can I do to improve this video. Would a completely different format be better?

Thank you.

I want to animate an accessible biology/biochemistry series for TikTok.

I posted a mock 1st episode on the biochemistry of water vm.tiktok.com/ZGd6U4Vu9/

I would really appreciate feedback from the community #stem #science #scientist #scienceanimation #sciencecommunication #biology

🙌🏽 I don’t have much to contribute because your last 2 replies said it all.

When the media misrepresents us, or worse, shines negative light on genuine scientific progress; “scientists were wrong”…. “Scientists can’t make their minds up”…. That’s what we do. We update!

Thank you for your replies.
