How do you turn a flawed pitch into an invaluable teaching moment? Here are three crucial lessons I learned about pitching science to the NSF SBIR program—and how you can improve your own.
A colleague told us our electron animation looked like Bohr orbits — and they were right. Here’s how that critique became Domain Clouds, in-domain drift, and σ/π shapes you can try (and subscribe to follow) in Project Genesis.
We taught Project Genesis's molecules to move like real chemistry — heavier ones drift slower, polar ones cluster and orient — by tracking down a silent physics bug with data instead of guesswork.
Discover how the "Chemistry in the Universe" concert successfully engaged diverse audiences and drove conceptual shifts in polymer chemistry using art and music (alongside how we measured engagement for this outreach event).
Why don't 3D chemistry visuals show electrons? Most ball-and-stick models hide them. Project Genesis renders VSEPR lone pairs, σ/π bonds & live valence topology—real-time 3D electron visualization for chemistry educators, researchers & grant figures.
Animate 3D, interactive chemistry reactions in minutes. This post describes how to use the latest version of Genesis (a Unity-based chemistry simulator) to quickly spawn 3D chemistry structures down to electron groups for clear, mechanistic chemistry animations you can create in seconds (for free).
Free Boston concert tickets & videos/game play for our subscribers: Chemistry in the Universe unites MIT, MONET, Science with Impact, and the Multiverse series in a live science-and-music event.
When it comes to communicating chemistry, there is the surface challenge—finding the right software—and then there is the deeper objective: ensuring our audience intuitively understands the science.
