bio-luminescent.
Bio-luminescent is a competition designed to foster science communication skills, not public speaking skills. Bio-luminescent is centred around the production of engaging videos, that focus on a scientific concept, an individual's research, or a specific area of science.
Unlike other competitions, bio-luminescent is built for the online space, and is centred around communication - not charisma. It doesn't matter if a video requires countless takes, significant editing or subtitles - if a researcher can help people understand their work, we think that's a win.
Research Institutes, Bio-luminescent has been enthusiastically received by research institutes, universities and schools. As produces engaging content that summaries complex concepts not only supports researchers, but also provides media that can be re-used in a promotional setting.
IBIS ATTACK!
IBIS ATTACK! is a proof of concept, for an augmented reality game. IBIS ATTACK! has been written to show families that science isn’t just facts, formulas, and textbooks - it’s about the joy of figuring things out.
