EP79 🚀 Michael Lentz & Mark SubbaRao - NASA's Creative Wizards, Space Storytelling, and the Art of Communicating Science

In this episode, join Michael Lentz, the Art Director for the Conceptual Image Lab at NASA, and Mark SubbaRao, the lead at NASA's Scientific Visualization Studio at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, as they delve into the art of communicating science and space storytelling. Learn how visualization plays a crucial role in bridging the gap between science and the general public and discover the potential of art and technology to inspire and educate people about space.

 

Key topics:

🔹 The role of art and visualization in communicating science

🔹 The importance of storytelling in sharing knowledge about space

🔹 The challenges of creating accurate and realistic space visualizations

 

3 memorable moments to share:

➡️ There's so much room for creativity and for interpretation within the scientific data that we have, and that's really where the art comes in.

➡️ Everybody has a story, and I think that's one of the very visceral parts of being human. It's how we learn by telling stories to each other.

➡️ The goal of any visualization is to tell a story and to convey information in a way that is understandable and memorable.
