, one of those geodesic structures that can shrink from several meters in diameter into a small ball as its joints fold in. Marshall brought in their videomaking experience from high school and college classes and a decadelong love of “flow arts,” object manipulations such as juggling and spinning. Marshall passes the fans back and forth in a coordinated fashion with a friend to symbolize electron exchanges between the metal ions.
The song was a hit with the judges. One, visual artist Alexa Meade, said she was impressed that Marshall’s dance showed more types of expression than others the judges viewed. “What made me happy about judging [the dances] was seeing all these different scientists all looking for the truth in the way nature works, but at the same time, doing that within their culture,” Kolenberg says. For example, she points out that the video submitted by the winner of the biology category takes place within the Amazon rainforest in Manaus, Brazil.
