Here's a chance to do more than just say you love Blender. Join other Blender users & support Blender Bob's film project, made entirely in blender, with a donation (as small as $1 is ok) to his Kickstarter. Should the film succeed, all profits will go to blender.org .
I talked to @robertrioux aka Blender Bob about working in VFX, advice for aspiring 3D artists, the origins of his Tiki project and of course his kickstarter project. blendersecrets.org/secrets/i… #b3d

Dear Science Illustrators of Twitter, I think this is a new kind of scam — but not entirely sure. In any case I thought I’d give my #SciComm peers a heads up … just in case.
I’ve recently received a few emails requesting Sci Comm illustration services.

Let us not forget that in 1954 Betty White’s show was canceled shortly after receiving backlash for her refusal to cancel Black tap dancer, Arthur Duncan. She extended his airtime instead, and responded to racists with “I’m sorry. Live with it.”

This is going to be a great day and we're so excited to kick it off with a moderated discussion with @SteveFranconeri & @ChristiansenJen to talk building bridges between the research and practice wings of the dataviz field.
Tomorrow is #VisComm Day! Come join us from 12-330p CDT to learn about visualizing uncertainty, dataviz style guides, data aesthetics, and much, much more!

OK birders, this one’s for you!
For the October issue of @sciam, I wrote about a team of competitive birders (yes, really) and their “Big Day,” in which they raced to find as many bird species as they could in 24 hours. It was intense, fascinating and fun as hell scientificamerican.com/artic…

Grab the popcorn because the @NASAPersevere rover has sent us a one-of-kind video of her Mars landing. For the first time in history, we can see multiple angles of what it looks like to touch down on the Red Planet. #CountdownToMars

Amanda Lee Falkenberg's @musicformoons incredible Moons Symphony goes through read-through under the formidable direction of Marin Alsop @marinalsop & the Radio Symphony Orchester, Vienna. Science & art perfectly married. 200 voice choir is next. Here's a taste of the Io movement

THE MOONS SYMPHONY® and I fly to Vienna to witness its first orchestral read through with the incredible @marinalsop conducting her Vienna Symphony Orchestra on Oct 6. The beginning steps of a global mission in sharing its message of beauty, wonder, & HOPE. Science & music merge.
Great job by @AlanStern and his team. Here is an imagined flyby of this amazing KBO.
#PI_Daily WOW! Five years ago this week @NewHorizons2015 selected the Kuiper Belt Objects Arrokoth (then only called 2014 MU69) as our first post-Pluto flyby target! And what a gem indeed Arrokoth turned out to be! #NASA #Space #Science
