Juuhuuu, my poster was awarded at the nanotech conference in montreux. in fact i am very happy that a scientific conference acknowledges also experiments that are being performed in the classroom. the poster described an ongoing teaching project i give at FHNW in a practical course in micro- and nanosystems for lifesciences.
The 4th edition of MINIMOTION competition is coming up! The public presentation and the award ceremony will be held on November 23, 2008 at Cinema Riffraff in Zurich, Switzerland.
i entered 3 movies to the competion, the classics like "hase znacht - short version" and "duell" and both of them got nominated for the award taking place on sunday, 23th, november, 2008. everybody should come and clap their hands!!!!
in addition i made a new movie for minimotion with haunz:
The First Encounter
Its tale of science fiction, tea bags, special effects and lots of mouse clicks... sadly we forgot to tell a story. and they didnt want it @ minimotion. but so what, not too much unlike in hollywood, in some cases you just focus too much on special effects than on a good movie. and by the way all special effects were done purely by the use of tea bags!
wait for the "Directors's Cut, Extended Edition deluxe, Alternate Ending" of it.....
This is a movie i got with help from alexa kiss and gabor csucs from the LMC @ ETHZ. It shows a time lapse microscopy recording of HeLa cells growing on a patterned substrate showing the logo of my current university, FHNW, where i teach a course in micro- and nanosystems for lifesciences. of course the movie has no specific scientific purpose, but it looks nice! check my research section to learn more about cell patterning...
