BIO300 Presentations 2011

BIO300 Carte Blanche

Main content

At the end of the autumn semester all the Biological Data Analysis and Research Design (BIO300) groups present their results at a meeting that is open to the public. Course partners, BIO staff, fellow students, Bergen Kommune and members of the press are invited.

BIO300 has been a pioneer course in stressing the importance of effective science communication.  Learn more.

In 2011, one group worked with the national modern dance company Carte Blanche, one with a dramaturg, Bembo Davies, one with a South Korean computer graphics artist, Ashley Booth, and one with a pictograph expert from the College of Art and Design, Hamie Kang.

Carte Blanche experience

Thinking "outside the box" about science communication!  Communicating with the general public can be just as important as communicating to professional colleagues.

The 2011 BIO300 class all spent time with Carte Blanche, Norway's premiere modern dance company. Five students selected to do their presentation as part of Carte Blanche's "Try In House" series (Maria Rye Michelsen, Jone Bjelland, Maria Larsen, Florian Eggers og Ram Chandra Poudel).  Read more (in Norwegian) about the show. The student participation was also covered in Norwegian in UiB's news and in the Norwegian Theatre News. BIO's Department Head congratulates the students for their ground-breaking initiative. Read more about the 2011 final presentations.
