THE SCIENCE OF INVENTION (NPR, joe’s big idea)

While working on the science desk at NPR, my colleague Madeline Sofia and I conceived of and launched a six-part animated series for Joe’s Big Idea, a column examining the pursuit of ideas in science. We worked with six scientists on adapting their personal narratives of discovery. Madeline later became host of the NPR podcast Short Wave and as a scientist-turned-journalist, was a fantastic collaborator.

I collaborated with a talented crew of animators for each short film, including Qieer Wang, Frederic Siegel, Daniela Sherer, Avi Ofer and Alan Jennings.
