The Visualization of Science | Olivia Osborne | TEDxUCLA

Описание: Science is so hard to see, and in not seeing, so much is missed. Our next speaker thinks about that a lot, and knows the power of curiosity in the realm of science, as well the destructive consequences of not being curious about science.

Dr. Olivia Osborne is an interdisciplinary research scientist and artist with a forte in educational entertainment. She is a bold adventurer with a passion to spread virtue and knowledge across the globe. From guest lectures to undertaking terrestrial conservation work in the jungles of Honduras, her love for nature has made Olivia the dedicated environmental toxicologist that she is and an admirable advocate for environmental issues. Currently a postdoctoral scholar at UCLA at the multidisciplinary University of California Center for Environmental Implications of Nanotechnology (UC CEIN), she is working on the hazard assessment of nanoparticles in the environment for which her research has received widespread media attention.
