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 programβand how you can improve your own.
A colleague told us our electron animation looked like Bohr orbits β and they were right. Hereβs how that critique became Domain Clouds, in-domain drift, and Ο/Ο shapes you can try (and subscribe to follow) in Project Genesis.
We taught Project Genesis's molecules to move like real chemistry β heavier ones drift slower, polar ones cluster and orient β 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, Ο/Ο bonds & live valence topologyβreal-time 3D electron visualization for chemistry educators, researchers & grant figures.
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 challengeβfinding the right softwareβand then there is the deeper objective: ensuring our audience intuitively understands the science.
Behind-the-scenes on Science with Impactβs work for the Multiverse Concert Series, with music composed by Prof. David Ibbett (Multiverse) and presented by Prof. Jeremiah Johnson of MITβalso a Senior Investigator at the NSF Center for Molecularly Optimized Networks (MONET).
