Frontier Scientists website online
June 5, 2012
The Frontier Scientists website is a collaboration funded by the National Science Foundation as part of an informal
science education outreach grant. Arctic Region Supercomputing Center Director Greg Newby has been working with Liz O'Connell, of Wondervisions, to develop
an interactive science education platform that uses short videos, blog entries and social
media to connect the general public to research happening in the Arctic.
Current features on the site include research projects: Alaska's unmanned aircraft
research, computational science and more. Another current story depicts Greg Newby
speaking about the role of computation in doing science. Videos on the site are free
to download, and have been provided to KUAC for broadcast.
