Artistic Contributions
Background
Art can be a powerful communication tool and has been used thoroughly to awaken the public about the plastic pollution crisis and science.
Goals
- Combine science and art to visualize and communicate truth to non-scientific audiences.
- Impact my community through multimedia messaging.
Major Learnings
- Everyone interprets art differently, it is challenging to figure out the right visualization to reach the broadest audience.
- Hosting a podcast can be a fun way to get to know your department.
Highlighted Achievements

- We created a 3D visualization of how large the ocean plastic pollution problem is: Facing the Facts of Ocean Plastic Pollution
- We created a horror 3D film about how bad ocean plastic could get and what the world would be like dominated by plastic: Current Affairs
