Using scientific data to inform the properties of digital visualisations, animators have been able to illustrate and illuminate the landscapes concealed beneath the surface of the natural world. Drew Berry, one of the world's foremost animators working in biomedical visualisation, has concentrated much of his work on cellular visualisation - animating the behaviour, dynamics and physical properties of DNA, bio-molecules and proteins.

Illustration: Jonathon Rosen "A MAN WITH A CONVICTION is a hard man to change. Tell him you disagree and he turns away. Show him facts or figures and he questions your sources. Appeal to logic and he fails to see your point. " So wrote the celebrated Stanford University psychologist Leon Festinger (PDF), in a passage that might have been referring to climate change denial—the persistent rejection, on the part of so many Americans today, of what we know about global warming and its human causes. Festinger and several of his colleagues had infiltrated the Seekers, a small Chicago-area cult whose members thought they were communicating with aliens—including one, "Sananda," who they believed was the astral incarnation of Jesus Christ.
Through her, the aliens had given the precise date of an Earth-rending cataclysm: December 21, 1954. Festinger and his team were with the cult when the prophecy failed.
