New ETH Zurich series on "Digital Skills" (german language). Many topics of the science videos are based on my previous Ph.D. work.

Had the immense pleasure to mentor a group of excellent AI and robot scientists to create some brainstorming innovative media ideas for science communication. Organized byCrossover Labs UK, as part of the upcoming Silbersalz Science & Media Festival 2021.

Most scientific content is communicated in a text-based format, most evidently in peer-reviewed papers. Nowadays, many of those paper-publications are transferred into a video-based format in form of research docs, video-abstracts or teaching videos.

Most of those science videos are an "afterthought" of the research process and do not meet the epistemic potential of the medium. Video offers a lot of specific media characteristics, thus  adapting scientific content into a video-based format will indeterminally alter the content itself. There's a translation, transformation and a transfer when you produce science videos. Hence, science videos are not simply a copy of an already existing result, but the filmic processes and especially the media design interact with the scientific content.

Our behavior in gaming is quite a paradox: Even though in life, we usually don’t like to feel incompetent nor are we happy to fail - when it comes to gaming, we seem to be okay with making an exception. Why is that? What role does failing play in our learning? What is productive failure? Check out the whole ETH series.

This video presents the Sustainability Research Initiative (SRI) of the Swiss Academy of Sciences (SCNAT). The SRI aims at promoting research for sustainable development in Switzerland. It is realized in collaboration with our partner institutions at the Swiss Academies of Arts and Sciences. Sustainability Research Initiative Swiss Academy of Sciences.
