Today's screening was Alex Rivera's 2008 narrative sci-fi film en espanol The Sleep Dealers which was one of the films awarded The Alfred P Sloan Film Prize at Sundance --the Sloan Prize is given to a film that furthers the public imagination about science every year by a panel of scientists and science -friendly artists. This year's prize went to Another Earth by Mike Cahill and Brit Mar.
Oh--here is the article we were discussing in class today from Scientific American about the recent MRI experiments that have been publicized as a breakthrough in dream-imaging. Hmmm...
So Professor Jean Hertzberg is coming to visit next week to demonstrate her own research and visualization software on blood flow in the human body. She is also an interdisciplinary educator in the worlds of science and art as you can see here by her detailed website for her amazing course in Flow Visualization. You know you want to sign up for that next semester!
ps. Make sure to check out the galleries of student work, for inspiration.
