Advances in video production and scientific visualization are among the most exciting and noteworthy outcomes of the progress that has been made in computational science. Whether it is the immersive environments of "Avatar," the ubiquity of high quality video capture on even the smallest of devices, or the visualization of complex mathematical, physical, and biological phenomena, computational science has enabled us to see things as we have never seen them before.
With this in mind, The Neukom Institute for Computational Science initiated the new "Seeing Science" competition, open to all Dartmouth students (undergraduate and graduate):
And the winners are:
