Outreach.

That necessary component of funding, communicating what it is we as scientists are doing to bring attention (and more research dollars) to support our work, our labs…

Film and documentaries are the perfect medium, a chance to tell your particular story in precise detail and living color. Learn how this can be done, meet area film makers who have worked on prize-winning science films, hear from scientist/film maker teams about their collaborations, and meet- and- greet with film makers looking for scientists to collaborate with on future projects.
