In this episode, we are joined by Biomedical Animator Drew Berry. Drew creates beautiful, accurate visualizations of the dramatic cellular and molecular action that is going on inside our bodies. Beginning his career as a cell biologist, Drew's raw materials are technical reports, research data and models from scientific journals. As an artist he works as a translator, from abstract and complicated scientific concepts into vivid and meaningful visual journeys. Since 1995 he has been a biomedical animator at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research in Australia. His animations have been exhibited at venues such as the Guggenheim Museum, Museum of Modern Art, and the Royal Institute of Great Britain. In 2010 he received a MacArthur Fellowship “Genius Grant". In this episode, we dissect Drew's journey as an animator and pull back the veil on the level of detail, research, and technical expertise needed to produce stunning and accurate representations of cellular and molecular processes.
