The ineffable joy of transforming boring scientific explanations into exciting comics
Cartooning entomologist Jay Hosler's forthcoming young adult graphic novel Last of the Sandwalkers masterfully combines storytelling with science; in this essay, he explains how beautifully comics play into the public understanding of science -- and why that understanding is a matter of urgency for all of us.
Allow me to spill the beans right at the beginning of this essay.
The answer is comics.
Now, let's consider the question.
Not too long ago a good friend of mine quite publicly declared that he was not interested in the boring scientific explanation for a rainbow. We were in a large group and I was somewhat saddened by this statement, not because I hadn't heard similar sentiments before, but because I heard them so often. It was all the more distressing because I'd spent the last decade writing and drawing a graphic novel about the biology and natural history of beetles called Last of the Sandwalkers. In the wake of this comment, as I prepare for another semester of teaching biology courses and the release of my book in the spring, I find myself in a reflective mood.
Why do I make comics about the natural world? Personally, I love boring scientific explanations, or at least the precise, detailed and often quantitative descriptions I think people mean by boring scientific explanations. The natural world inspires me. Reading about a newly discovered species like the bone-eating snot-flower worm fills me with an expansive sense of the wonder that I want to share. There are the equivalent of aliens living right under our feet and getting to know them enriches our lives. Rest assured, I am self-aware enough to know that going gah-gah over a new textbook is atypical for the population, but if I want to share my enthusiasm with my students and a broader audience I need to ask, "How?"
This isn't a trivial question. A survey of American attitudes suggests that only one in five Americans appreciate the value of scientific inquiry and that students in the United States still perform at or below the level of students in many other developed countries in science and mathematics. In my opinion, Carl Sagan provides the best description of this disastrous situation.
We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.
A democracy with an electorate that doesn't understand science cannot possibly hope to navigate issues like stem cell research or climate change. So, how do we connect potentially curious readers of all ages to the wonders of the universe locked in those "boring" explanations? The answer is obvious (since, y'know, I've already told you):
Now, before anyone's head explodes at that gross oversimplification, bear with me. Clearly, the solution to a big challenge like this is multi-variant, but I think comics provide an enormously powerful and entertaining approach to the problem.
At our core, humans are picture-loving, story-telling monkeys and comics plug into a fundamental way in which we explain things to each other. From cave paintings to schematics hastily jotted on a napkin, we use words and images to complete and amplify ideas and explanations. As a cartoonist, I try to harness that power to write graphic novels about science and natural history.
Graphic novels that deal with science can take on two forms. John DuPuis over at Confessions of a Science Librarian summarized the possibilities:
I have tried to do that second thing. Science embedded in graphic novels infuses those stories with wonder and mystery. Comic characters that explore the natural world take readers with them. In Last of the Sandwalkers, our intrepid band of beetle scientists discover flying beasts that hunt with sound, escape the clutches of a silken net and endure the embarrassment of sticky, velvet worm mucus. They see a bird for the first time and marvel at this strange creature with a skeleton on the inside of its body.
The first is basically transforming a boring, stilted, text-heavy textbook into a boring, stilted, illustration- and text-heavy graphic novel. The second involves taking advantage of the strengths of the graphic novel format to re-imagine how scientific knowledge can be presented to an interested audience.
The acclaimed cartoonist Harvey Pekar once said, "Comics are just words and pictures. You can do anything with words and pictures." My first science graphic novel was the biography of a honey bee. Sixteen years later, I still hear from readers about how it changed the way they look at these insects. What was once a terrifying menace to be squished on sight was now a fellow creature with a family and a vital role to play in our world. The words and images of comics can help us feel an emotional connection with a subject and give us a reason to revisit it over and over.
Textbooks can explain science, but comics can make readers care about it.
-Jay Hosler
Lucy is not one to quietly cooperate, however. This tiny field scientist defies the law of her safe but authoritarian home and leads a team of researchers out into the desert. Their mission is to discover something about the greater world...but what lies in wait for them is going to change everything Lucy thought she knew.
Beetles are not the only living creatures in the world.
Deftly combining suspenseful adventure storytelling with the principles and tools of scientific inquiry, entomologist and cartoonist Jay Hosler has created in The Last of the Sandwalkers a tale that satisfies and fascinates even the most bug-averse among us.

Uberizing Organizational Learning – Thinking Beyond Courses
ID Reflections
Designing courses is passé! In a world where the shelf-life of knowledge and skills are rapidly shrinking, where best practices of yore yield increasingly little or no return on investment, where exceptions are the norm, and constant change and flux the new normal, designing set courses using SME-defined content is like trying to build a dam to rein in the surging waves of a tumultuous ocean.
Micro-Learning as a Workplace Learning Strategy
ID Reflections
In today''s time-crunched, attention-deficit and multitasking world, micro-learning seems to have cropped up as a possible solution to corporate learning and personal development. However, what exactly is micro-learning remains a bit of an elusive concept with different people defining it in different ways. Should it be something that takes less than 5 minutes to consume? How can I help you?
"Working Out Loud": Using the Tools We Already Have

While the concept of "working out loud" has been gaining popularity, thanks to the work done by thought-leaders like Jane Bozarth ( Show Your Work ), John Stepper ( Working Out Loud ), Austin Kleon ( Show Your Work ) and such, I still encounter bemused looks when I bring up this topic. wrote about the strategies and benefits of working out loud earlier here and here.

The Changing Nature of Workplace Learning

Recently, I read two posts that to me reflected the changing nature of work -- from divergently different perspectives. One was from the field of architecture and the other was by Harold Jarche on workplace and learning. Given below are excerpts from both. His concept split the office footprint into a handful of smaller "neighborhoods." In addition, tacit knowledge flows best in trusted networks.
"Digital Mindset": What is it All About?
ID Reflections
"Digital mindset" seems to have become another buzzword--rather buzz-phrase to be grammatically precise--whenever the conversation (online or offline) veers toward social business, social learning, collaboration, and other 21st Century phenomenon in general. It has become a specter looming over everyone's head. In an attempt to crystallize the skill sets, some of the finer nuances have been lost.

7 Strategies to Facilitate "Working Out Loud"

I spent the greater part of the weekend mulling over the practice of working out loud , what makes some folks adopt the habit with ease while others struggle, and what could be some of the possible enabling factors that support working out loud.

"The nature of work is changing. People's relationship with work is changing. The changes to society will be vast" by @gapingvoid We are on the eve of 2015! Most of us do a retrospection of the year gone by, and a future-spection of the year to come. thought I''d do the same from an L&D and workplace learning perspective. Two books I have recently read influence my thoughts in this post.
Heutagogy, Self-Directed Learning and Complex Work
ID Reflections
Pedagogy had always established an unequal relation between the teacher and the taught. Andragogy stepped in to rectify this and foster awareness about how adults learned. However, the premise was that there was someone doing the "teaching" so to speak. While the principles of Andragogy clearly stated what it takes to motivate adults to learn, the role of a teacher / the expert remained undisputed.
Role of L&D in the 21C Workplace
ID Reflections
It is increasingly becoming evident that L&D department in organizations can no longer function the way they used to, at least not if they want to be relevant and be a business partner to the organization. Refer to Ross Dawson's The Future of Work for a detailed overview. The more of the same task they performed, the more efficient they became. And time to production improved.

Social Learning is Voluntary; Collaboration Platforms are Enablers
ID Reflections
I love this description from Jane Harts post: FAUXIAL LEARNING is about forcing people to use social media in courses – or even in the workplace – and then confusing compliance with engagement (and even worse) learning. This totally hits the nail on the head. As an Instructional Designer and L&D Consultant, I am often asked questions like: 1.What social collaboration platform should we use?

11 Differences between a MOOC and an Online Course
ID Reflections
I love this definition of MOOCs by Ignatia Inge deWaard in her e-book, MOOC Yourself: "A MOOC is a non-defined pedagogical format to organize learning /teaching/training on a specific topic in an informal, online, and collaborative way." This captures the key essence of a MOOC highlighting the key differentiators between a MOOC and an online course. think the confusion between a course on an LMS and a MOOC—especially now that MOOCs are all set to enter the workplace where course tracking has so far been the norm—is going to be rampant. Online courses are close-ended with static content.
Workplace Learning in a World "Beyond Automation"

Why Organizations Must Encourage Collaboration: Building a Case
ID Reflections
Organizations, i.e., the business leaders and executives are not interested in learning. Nor do they care much about collaboration. Business cares only about the outcome. It is up to us--L&D professionals--to connect learning and collaboration to business goals like customer satisfaction, efficient troubleshooting, innovative design ideas, reduced production time, and such. And it has.
Micro-Learning: Its Role in Formal, Informal and Incidental Learning
ID Reflections
What is micro-learning? When and where does it work well? What characteristics define micro-learning? In this post, I have looked at micro-learning from the point of view of efficacy as well as applicability. Microlearning deals with relatively small learning units and short-term learning activities. Generally, the term ''microlearning'' refers to micro-perspectives in the context of learning, education and training. Clients who earlier asked for elearning are now further specifying the type of elearning. Our employees are busy and want to learn on the go." In short, micro-learning is the need.

Lurking is Not a Static State
ID Reflections
Lurking and its role in communities has been on the forefront of my mind for the past few days. It has received a lot of attention in the past from the thought leaders in the realm of learning and the role of communities in personal as well as organizational learning. They are lurking on the edge, consuming content. They are the free riders. However, is that truly the case? Not really.

When I read Rachel Happe's (@rhappe ) post, The Emerging Career Path of Community Professionals , I was reminded of my older posts on community management and the skills required. wrote about the tenets of community management based on my experience. This requires anyone playing the role to wear multiple hats. Defining clear guidelines and directives go a long way toward user adoption.

I never used the Pokeblock man, but I did like the Dept. Store, cause you could get decorations to put in your base to get across holes, which the best ones had holes. But yeah, it's little things like those special events that made it nice too. What else do you think could be added?
Having the Pokeblock work for different natured Pokemon, etc. is a great idea.
If they really wanted to, they could also have an item that changes every time, too. The first item would be a Pokeball or Potion, and with every tag you get, the item gets better and better.
Yeah, it would swap each time you get a streetpass tag. Imo though, it might be better suited to being a little more randomized. On top of that, adding in the possibility of getting certain DW Pokes, that could give Altering Cave a chance at being used often.
I really did like the feature though, it deserves to be upgraded.
If they add more involved with it, it could end up being a great addition to the games.
Back to ideas, I know it's a bit...dated, but does anyone think we'll have any use for Trainer Hill back? There wasn't really a wow factor to it, but it might have some kind of potential I guess, haha. I actually used it a bit, in all honesty.(having a tough time with this one)
Does anyone think that one Winstrate Family and Vito would be given a somewhat bigger role in the remakes? The family seemed to make too big a deal of Vito especially to just leave him out. Maybe you could see him from time to time on your travels, he might help out with something. Who knows...
Does anyone think we'll see some kind of new game involved at the game corner in Mauville(seeing as slots are probably out of the question)? The game corner should end up like that games place on one of the Sevii Islands in FrLg; it could go beyond the usual casino-type place and be given games that can be wirelessly played with others.
I'm probably getting carried away, but these could be some really PACKED games; a lot of ideas that could be brought back and up-to-date.

SUNNYVALE, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/21/13 -- Juniper Networks (NYSE: JNPR), the industry leader in network innovation, today unveiled new software and services enabling mobile service providers to realize immediate benefits while laying the foundation to build software-defined networks (SDN). By deploying Juniper Networks' new services provisioning application, mobile infrastructure application and virtualized services engine, customers can achieve elastic capacity, increased service velocity, while lowering overall operating expenses (OPEX). Based on use cases and data from ACG Research, customers may realize up to 65 percent reduction in OPEX and up to 54 percent reduction in total cost of ownership.
The software and services announced today come on the heels of Juniper's introduction of the most comprehensive SDN vision in the industry and follows Juniper's roadmap to transition enterprises and service providers from traditional network infrastructures to SDNs. Specifically, with today's announcement, customers can address two of the four steps to SDN:
- Step 1: Centralize network management, analytics and configuration functionality to provide a single master that configures all networking devices:
Announced today, Juniper Networks® Junos® Space Services Activation Director application enables service providers to provision thousands of seamless services, including multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) and Carrier Ethernet for mobile backhaul. Service Activation Direction lowers OPEX cost through simplified deployment and management, and greater business insight gained from service provider networks. The Services Activation Director, along with other Junos Space applications, is scheduled to be available for purchase in the first half of 2013, which allows the software to transfer to any network element with which it operates.
- Step 2: Extract networking and security services from the underlying hardware by creating service virtual machines (VMs):
Also announced today, Juniper Networks Mobile Control Gateway (virtual MCG) is now running as a virtualized function on the JunosV App Engine, providing signaling and control (SGSN/MME) functions to LTE, 3G and 2G radio access networks. As a virtualized network function, mobile operators can rapidly scale up and down capacity to meet variable demand requirements. Comparing a standalone physical appliances approach to a virtualized approach, mobile operators have the ability to accelerate deployment time by as much as 46 percent and reduce deployment cost by as much as 61 percent, according to ACG Research. Part of Juniper Networks Mobile Packet Core solution, the virtual MCG is co-developed with Hitachi, the first third-party to virtualize a network service on the JunosV App Engine.
Now shipping, Juniper Networks JunosV App Engine centralizes the development, provisioning and management of both Juniper Networks and third-party applications on a common platform. This platform also enables customers to grow the compute, memory and processing resource needed for cloud-based applications and services attached specifically to the MX Series 3D Universal Edge Router.
Supporting Quotes:
Analyst Quote:
"With mobile traffic growth exploding, operators need a virtualized Mobile Packet Core for scaling capacity up and down to both increase service velocity and control costs. Our research has validated that Juniper's virtual Mobile Control Gateway has a 54 percent lower total cost of ownership over five years and the time to deploy the initial implementation is 46 percent faster than a standalone appliance-based solution. In addition, the virtual MCG provides incremental capacity additions in 87 percent less time, enabling operators to address the volatility of mobile control plane traffic driven by smartphones and smartphones apps."
- Dr. Ray Mota, managing partner, ACG Research
Partner Quote:
"Through our strong technology partnership, Hitachi's goal was to create a solution that would elastically scale from small to very large. Juniper's JunosV App Engine allows Hitachi to quickly innovate and deliver market-leading MME/SGSN Gateway services faster and more cost efficiently for our customers. For mobile service providers, it means lower capital and operating expenses coupled with a superior user experience and assurance that communications functions operate reliably."
- Kiichiro Taima, CEO and president of Hitachi Communication Technologies America
Juniper Networks Quote:
"Mobile networks are perfectly suited to benefit from Juniper Network's SDN approach. Exponential mobile data usage coupled with an increasingly wide array of multi-media smartphones and tablets put enormous demands on high-performance networking. Juniper Networks, a recognized leader in carrier-grade IP network equipment, is leading the industry by delivering the next generation of SDN software services."

Getting carried away! Joyful Alex picks up fellow hopeful Sierra as Demi Lovato and co reveal X Factor finalists
Simon Cowell has been captivated by their 'sexual chemistry.'
So no wonder joyful Alex felt comfortable picking up his sidekick Sierra as the 12 finalists for X Factor USA were announced in Los Angeles on Monday.
The besotted Florida lovers were clearly overjoyed with the news, and will now be aiming to kick on and capture the title.
Scroll down for video
Jumping for joy: Simon Cowell's favourites Alex and Sierra were delighted when the X Factor USA finalists were announced in Los Angeles on Monday
Jawbreaker: One of the hopefuls landed a blow on Simon Cowell's face as they played up for the cameras
And they have every right to be excited, as they have been tipped as favourites by fans and pundits alike.
Show svengali Simon Cowell is particularly taken by the pair, who have been dubbed the new Sonny and Cher.
Last month he said: 'I can feel their sexual chemistry from here.
Latina lovely: Demi Lovato added a splash of dressed down glamour to the proceedings in this outfit
Hopefuls: Demi's contestants (left to right) Khaya Cohen, Rion Paige and Ellona Santiago
'So much sexual chemistry…and I have that in my life as well.'
And the pop mogul certainly looked thrilled with the final 12, giving a cheerful thumbs up as he posed at the event.
It has been claimed Simon may soon leave the show due to its embarrassingly poor ratings, but there was no sign of that as he larked around with the contestants at the exciting event.
Standing out: Paulina Rubio looked stylish in a colourful minidress for the occasion
Posing up: Paulina couldn't hide her excitement ahead of the show getting into the final phase
Here come the boys: Paulina's hopefuls (left to right) Carlos Guevara, Carlito Olivero and Tim Olstad
His fellow judges Demi Lovato, Kelly Rowland and Paulina Rubio were also there, with the latter in particularly hamming it up with a variety of over-the-top gestures.
Kelly, who has been a judge on both the UK and US versions of the show, recently admitted that the American contestants are 'crazier' than those on the other side of the pond.
When asked about the difference between the shows' contestants, Kelly said: 'We get all the crazies. It seems like all the crazies just want to be in America.
Not left out: Kelly Rowland was also there to pose up with her gang of motley older hopefuls
Ab-solutely fabulous: Kelly flashed her toned stomach in a cropped black top and high-waisted trousers
Reaching for the stars: Kelly's hopefuls (left to right) Jeff Gutt, Lillie McCloud and Rachel Potter
'They want to come up there and not know the song, they want to come up there and sound like they're howling and calling for cats, they want to come up there and they're dressed in rainbow costumes … they are delusional, like literally delusional.
a woman came up there and she said, "Oh I'm the queen of such and
such," and Simon says, "Well, where are your bodyguards?"
'So we start asking questions and you saw those devil horns come out. She's like, "I'm going to kill you."
Strong competition: As well as Alex and Sierra, groups Restless Road and Sweet Suspense are in Simon's category
Kisses all round: The Sweet Suspense girls appeared to be enjoying their time in the spotlight
Boys will be boys: Restless Road lived up to their name as they failed to keep still in front of photographers
'As soon as they open up their mouths it's almost like, "Who are your friends? Why are your friends telling you to come on here to make a fool of yourself?" It's just ridiculous.'
But Kelly managed to dig through the 'crazies' to find herself some talent in the form of her final three contestants - Jeff Gutt, Lillie McCloud and Rachel Potter.
The X Factor U.S. returns to Fox on Wednesday at 8pm/7pm Central.
Surprise: The show's cheesy host Mario Lopez also put in an appearance at the thrilling event

Rion Paige
Ellona Santiago

The Arts Desk Radio Show 9 | New music reviews, news & interviews
The Arts Desk Radio Show 9
Eclecticism as ever plus news from Rotterdam
Welcome to the latest edition of The Arts Desk Radio Show, originally broadcast live from London's glamorous Dalston last Tuesday on NTS Live. Once again Joe found himself flying solo as Peter was off on his travels – although this time, rather than visiting his usual far-flung destinations he was on the road, driving Malcolm McLaren's Mercedes back from Paris. In his absence, Joe kept things international, causing himself severe pronunciation anxiety by including tracks from Japanese, Lebanese, Welsh, Emirati, Malian and Danish musicians, and welcoming a Zanzibari-Dutch guest for the second half of the show.
The guest was Samira bin Sharifu, co-curator of the BUMA Rotterdam Beats festival and UK representative of the 22 Tracks music website. She and Joe discussed the interface between "urban" and mainstream club music, the international viability of the UK's grime scene in its second decade, the future of the new breed of festival/conference, and the roots of Rotterdam's own notorious Gabber techno sound. Add to that some drone rock, UK rap, folktronica, mutant R&B and guitar improv, and we have another burgeoning two hours of music and culture for you.
Track list:
Ensemble Pearl – Wray (Drag City)
Bachar Mar Khalifé – Ya Nas (Infiné)
Uther Moads – Breakdown (Dramatic Records)
