Arkitek Scientific

No doubt everyone on the planet is or has been both. And it seems pretty obvious that people generally prefer one over the other. But I have a question about the amount of time we spend in both, because it’d be difficult to either live deep in th...

… that when you drive up to an intersection, the second you do, for that brief moment, the coast is clear? But if you wait, then you wait for a very long time? I’ve wondered about this for years, and I’ve decided I can either take this as s...

I was surprised when I found out I don’t live in real time. Nobody does, which is slightly creepy. Here’s what I’ve learned… Though anyone would swear that what they see is one complete picture, in fact, it isn’t at all. T...

Arkitek has created the first ever VR experience that highlights extracellular vesicles, tiny bubbles made from cell membranes that contain information cells use to communicate with one another. This work was premiered at the International Society for ...

This is something that’s nagged me for a very long time, and I’ve asked a ton of people for their opinion. And what’s interesting is that everyone answers immediately, DECISIVELY, one way or the other, and then they stop – and they think about it again...

Arkitek Scientific has created two animations for Boston Biomedical Inc., the first on the role of the STAT3 protein in cancer, and the second on the MCL-1 protein, again in cancer, and is now embarking on a third about the CDK-9 protein. You can see t...

Beth Anderson was invited to speak at the Association of University Technology Managers’ annual meeting in Phoenix, AZ, on the path from initial concept to final animation, and how reference plays such a critical role in shaping design direction....

The role of specific lipids in the skin is well known. Unifarco has created a technology that has harnessed the healing properties of these lipids, and developed it into a formulation that repairs the skin barrier. Arkitek has been engaged to create a ...

As one of the speakers for the inaugural TEDx event in Oakland in the fall of 2017, Ms. Anderson spoke about the intersection between art and science, and how in today’s world, the two seem farther apart than any time in the past 100 years. Drawi...

We were asked by Innonix to create an animation for their RespoKare anti-pollution mask, which uses a novel five part filtration technology to enhance its ability to screen out both harmful small particulates under 2.5 microns, as well as toxic gases s...

Days, weeks, months and years have passed since the newly minted scientist first launched herself on this quest to uncover exactly why this particular cell acts like a normal, happy member of society most of the time, but then suddenly veers toward a d...

Pretty darned good, I’d say. But I’d like to answer that with a different question – what would the world look like if NOBODY embraced science and technology? Even if you decided to move to the farthest windblown, scorched or frozen, basically uninhabi...

I think humans are wired for stories, and naturally seek to encapsulate their experiences into narratives that help to explain what has happened. Without an arc, any series of events that are somehow tied together, don’t really seem to make much sense....

Humans get pretty cranky when they forget the original reason behind why they’re working so hard at something. I do. But it’s easy to have happen, since working on anything that involves time, effort and thinking generates a lot of data, and that data ...

I had thought that came to me in a conversation with my very first ballet teacher, whom I spent the day with in San Francisco some months ago – There are several attributes dance and science have in common, that I’m not sure many people have thought ab...
