THE SOLUTION
BrainMind is creating an open source library of 3D scientific visualizations, animations, VR experiences, compelling story-based explanations, and customizable presentations focused on new research in neurodegeneration.
This is a multi-org collaboration with research institutes consulting on the most up-to-date science, world-renowned artists and science writers producing the resources, and leading neuroscience-focused nonprofits supporting dissemination to the scientific community. The content will include:
A widely published library of open-source 3D visuals
Modifiable presentation decks for scientists to use in their own talks, publications, and fundraising efforts
A website housing downloadable copies of all materials
