Nautilus SciComm

2025 - Ongoing

This ongoing collaboration with Nautilus SciComm focuses on creating short educational videos that translate complex science topics into clear and engaging microlessons for general audiences, including:

- Germ Theory, Full Video: https://youtu.be/2GX0ea_QpYE
- The Stress Response, Full Video: https://youtu.be/h4n1MHuQ4Vg
- Stem Cell Therapy, Full Video: https://youtu.be/e16oS6ajfTM
- Synthetic Biological Intelligence: https://youtu.be/NX8N8tHctNg

Each video combines live-action footage and animated clips, where animated visuals function as instructional support to clarify key concepts and maintain learner engagement. Drawing from dual-coding theory and cognitive load principles, I designed motion graphics, animations, and illustrations that highlight key concepts to visually connect ideas discussed in-narration.

My responsibilities included storyboarding short sequences, designing and animating educational graphics, and light editing of scripts to ensure alignment between visual and verbal information.
