About
COLLABORATIVE ADJECTIVE
Aiming to facilitate a dialogue between the disciplines of animation and natural science, ultimately disseminating stem cell research to different segments of the society, scientists from the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Stem Cell Biology/University of Copenhagen and animators from The Animation Workshop/VIA UC entered an interdisciplinary collaboration.
The primary objectives were:
To train scientists to pitch scientific stories to non-scientists, in particular visual storytellers
To introduce visual storytellers to stem cell research and to how science is conducted
To establish a common language between these professionals.
