 * CS35. Julie Newdoll ** – //Tactile Games for Teaching Chemistry//

May 28 Saturday 1:30-2:30 PM HM 148

This session will explore an approach to learning chemistry from the basics to a deep level by playing the artist’s elaborate, highly tactile board game “Journey to Neon ™.” Newdoll’s work is part of Game Show NYC and this session will offer an opportunity to deeply interact with her and her work. Affiliation/Bio: Brush with Science, julie@newdoll.com. Julie Newdoll is an artist inspired by life science, recently captivated by the creation of sculptural board games. Torn between art and science in college, she ended up with a degree in Microbiology, and a minor in art. Following this, she received a master’s in Medical Illustration. The world of microscopic images and molecules first appeared in her artwork in 1990, while she was employed as a scientific visualization specialist at the University of California at San Francisco. Following this experience, she spent a few years as the Supervising Technical Director at Tippett Studio, directing the lighting for the special effects in films such as Starship Troopers. Her artwork has been featured on over 20 journal covers in the last few years, including such publications as //Nature Reviews//, and commissions for world-class scientists, including winners of the Nobel prize. Her artwork can be found in her Menlo Park gallery “Brush with Science", and www.brushwithscience.com.
