The studio got a little touch up today the back wall was painted a nice rich grey to make for a better video background and less of a contrast from the Dickinson backdrop. Also, earlier in the summer we mounted two new LED lights as well. So whether you recording a show for DSON TV, a project for YouTube, or interview with faculty the studio is all set for the fall semester.
Ben Ames has the answer. The winner of Alan Alda’s Flame Challenge, which challenged scientists to explain what a flame is in a way an 11 year could understand, put together this great video.
Also, checkout the interview with him and Alan Alda on Science Friday, The Winning Answer to a Burning Question. My favorite quote “I had never before been involved in something where my mind was so fully engaged” this from a Ph.D. candidate.
The latest addition to the Media Center is the MakerBot Replicator 3D printer. Can’t wait to see what great projects our professor have in mind. Check out what other people have made over on thingiverse.com.
Congratulations to MC assistants Angelo, Diego and Hoang and the entire Class of 2012!
