Physics Research Conference

Science communication and the making of The PHD Movie 2

Jorge Cham, PHD Comics,

PHD Comics creator Jorge Cham will recount his experiences creating a comic strip about life (or the lack thereof) in academia and how this led him to work with researchers across the world to produce videos that explain complex scientific topics. He will also discuss his collaboration with IQIM and how this led to the production of the PHD Movie 2, which is currently screening at campuses across the globe and which the journals Nature and Nature Physics called "astute, funny" and "almost impossible not to relate to."
