IBIOLOGY ALSO MAKES VIDEO COURSES TO PROVIDE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR EARLY CAREER SCIENTISTS. IBIOLOGY WORKS WITH EDUCATORS TO DEVELOP VIDEOS WELL SUITED FOR CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION, AND EXPERIMENTS WITH CONTENT, PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION. RESEARCH AND EVALUATION INTO USING FILM TO ENGAGE STUDENTS WITH SCIENCE IS CENTRAL TO IBIOLOGY'S MISSION. THE VIDEOS INCLUDE A DIVERSITY OF VOICES AND PERSPECTIVES, SHOWING STUDENTS THAT SCIENTISTS APPROACH THEIR WORK FROM A VARIETY OF BACKGROUNDS AND EXPERIENCES. 1996978 THE WONDER COLLABORATIVE: FEATURE-LENGTH AND SHORT FILMS FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC THE WONDER COLLABORATIVE IS A CREATIVE PARTNERSHIP THAT BRINGS INNOVATIVE STORYTELLERS AND THE GLOBAL SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY TOGETHER IN A SPIRIT OF EXPERIMENTATION AND COLLABORATION TO REVOLUTIONIZE SCIENCE FILMMAKING WITH THE WONDER, AWE, AND DIVERSITY OF DISCOVERY.

THE WONDER COLLABORATIVE'S EFFORTS RANGE FROM SHORT DIGITAL VIDEOS TO FEATURE FILMS AND SERIES. THE STORIES ARE PRODUCED WITH A BROAD, GLOBAL, GENERAL (SCIENCE-CURIOUS) AUDIENCE IN MIND.

THE WONDER OF SCIENCE AND THE THRILL OF DISCOVERY ARE NOT BEING COMMUNICATED. XBIO'S AUDACIOUS GOAL IS TO OFFER STUDENTS A MORE EXCITING AND ACCURATE WINDOW INTO THE LIFE SCIENCES.

SPECIAL INITIATIVES IN SCIENCE COMMUNICATION SPECIAL INITIATIVES INCLUDE SCIENCE COMMUNICATION EFFORTS THAT DO NOT FALL UNDER IBIOLOGY, WONDER COLLABORATIVE, OR XBIO. THE SCL'S CURRENT SPECIAL INITIATIVE IS FOCUSED ON HOW THE PUBLIC ENGAGES WITH SCIENCE THROUGH DATA VISUALIZATIONS. VISUALIZATIONS ARE REPRESENTATIONS OF DATA SUCH AS ANIMATIONS, SIMULATIONS, GRAPHS, OR OTHER VISUAL FORMS. THEY ENABLE THE HUMAN VISUAL SYSTEM TO MAKE DISCOVERIES, LOOK FOR PATTERNS, AND SEE PHENOMENA THAT CANNOT BE SEEN IN NUMERICAL DATASETS. VISUALIZATIONS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A CRITICAL MEANS OF BOTH DOING AND COMMUNICATING SCIENCE, BUT HAVE BECOME INCREASINGLY IMPORTANT AS COMPUTATIONAL TOOLS HAVE RAPIDLY ADVANCED. THIS INITIATIVE FOCUSES ON UNDERSTANDING HOW THE PUBLIC INTERPRETS AND ENGAGES WITH SCIENTIFIC DATA IN INFORMAL LEARNING SETTINGS SUCH AS FILMS, MUSEUMS, AND BEYOND.
