At the Museum, I work with a team of rockstar educators who take the amazing science of the institution and present it to the world. Among them is the Science Bulletins team. Science Bulletins is a program featuring the latest science news and data visualizations and appears online, in classrooms, and at museums around the world. My crude one-line description is that Science Bulletins is the "CNN of science." But really, it's much more than that. And starting this week, you have the opportunity to get a behind-the-scenes look at how 3D animations (like this one about the ozone hole, or the feature below about glaciers) get put together.

The Apple Store in New York, San Francisco, Chicago, and Tokyo is presenting a new Pro Session called Envisioning Global Change, starting Wednesday, February 7 at the SoHo store. It features my colleagues Ned Gardiner, a geologist and geographer, and Arlene Ducao, a talented 3D animator. What's amazing about their presentation (which I had the opportunity to review this past week) is how much you'll learn in an hour: both about the human impact on the Earth and how data visualizations are developed in our office every day.

Occasionally, I'll serve as a "substitute geologist" to inform the Science Bulletins team on current earthquake and volcano activity around the world. These earth events are published weekly in an animated or interactive format, but until now I didn't exactly know how all the pieces come together using raw satellite data and high-tech software. I definitely recommend you come check out this engaging and fascinating presentation that Ned and Arlene have put together!

Can't come to the Apple Store? Then go spend some time on the Science Bulletins site and see the way we look at the world!
