ASTROVIZ COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE
Introduction
Exchange ideas and learn about astronomical visualizations.
We are building a vibrant community of scientists, educators, students, artists, outreach experts, planetarium staff and others practicing or interested in astrovisualization. We provide a number of platforms (in-person and online) for our community members to share knowledge, exchange ideas, network, discuss common issues of interests, brainstorm and kick-start new initiatives.
Community Highlights
These curated newsletters contain content from the world of Astroviz and feature contributions from the community.
Astrovisualization Workshops
Astrovisualization workshops are typically held each year at the winter AAS meeting. The workshops bring together key players in astrovisualization to discuss and exchange information about the latest technologies and best practices that can help us reach audiences and communicate science and astronomy more clearly and meaningfully.
Recordings are available on the AstroViz YouTube channel. Each video has chapter indices in the descriptive text so you can review the talk titles and jump directly to the ones of interest.
The Caltech/IPAC Communications & Education team organized a workshop on Astrovisualization on June 11-13, 2018 in Pasadena. Please see the AstroViz Workshop 2018 website.
Virtual Community Meetups
We hold quarterly hour-long virtual community meetups. These bring together the community to discuss topics of common interest. The meetups include a moderated panel discussion of experts on a specific topic and several lightning talks by members of the community of practice. The meetups are recorded and posted on Youtube.
