Your ?PsiVid hosts, Carin Bondar and Joanne Manaster, will be watching the world of science film and video, and sharing our great finds with science enthusiasts like you.

The main focus of our blog will be science in new media. We plan to showcase films and videos that engage audiences for science in unique, innovative and inspiring ways. In addition to exhibiting the final products, we will host interviews with the folks who create them in order to reveal exactly how difficult (or how simple) they were to produce. We’re interested in exploring the entire spectrum of science-based film and video on the internet, from low budget youtube videos to high end CGI programming.

All this and much more:
