Scientific Research

 - Okay, so now we're locked in. - Just in life in general, I don't think it's any different, that level of visualization comes into it in a major way. So I don't think it's any different than photography. - So you can see your aperture. That's what your camera's doing automatically. There's only three things cameras do. So you have a sensor. You have an aperture and a shutter.

 and it's been worked and tilled by unpaid workers and governments. And, all right, I'm kind of milking the metaphor a little bit. But it's a really fertile medium, and it feels like visualizations, infographics, data visualizations, they feel like flowers blooming from this medium. But if you look at it directly,

 but its internal characteristics, such as age and gender distribution. So, how can we keep track of all that data in a way that makes it easy to comprehend? Complex data is more easily interpreted through visualization, and one of the ways that demographers represent the internal distribution of a population

This is perhaps one of my favorite projects of this new movement. And I think the title really says it all -- it's

For example, you could plot the flow of carbon through corporate supply chains in a corporate ecosystem,

 But as a cell biologist, I'm much more interested in understanding the natural world at a much, much smaller scale. I'm a molecular animator, and I work with other researchers to create visualizations of molecules that are so small, they're essentially invisible.

 Chris I tried to get my head around how vast our Earth is. Logan The lesson only reaches the students in that room. What would happen if we captured it? It's a toothed wheel. What if pro animators and visualization artists could bring that lesson to life?
