"Making of a Scientific Movie"

2:00 pm in room P-148

Abstract:  We will present a recently finished project, dedicated to presenting science to the general public. The movie entitled "When things get small" about Nanoscience, is aimed at the general, not necessarily scientifically literate, public. We will discuss some of the pitfalls in making scientific movies and an attempt at correcting these. This movie is aimed at a general public, so please invite your friends and family.
