While it always intrigued me it was not something that ever came innately. Working at Motherboard has helped me redefine the somewhat nebulous notion of science and what application it has in real life. In producing the second season of Spaced Out, it seemed important that we look to feature non scientists thinking about the future of space. Enter Robert Alexander, a classically trained composer who has always been fascinated with the sky. As Robert was thinking about his thesis he determined that he was interested in the practice of sonification. For those of you who are unfamiliar, sonification is defined simply as is the process of displaying data in an audio format (other than traditional speech). Robert was interested in listening to data and garnering what he and the world can learn from it. We go into it deeper in the piece but I thought of it as such a novel idea. One thinks that most problems have a linear solution but that is not the world we live in, there can and always will be another and maybe more creative way of finding the solution. http://news.linktv.org/videos/nasa-drones-to-hunt-down-climate-change?start=0 NASA is preparing to launch six unmanned drones into the tropopause to study how water vapor and the ozone interact in order to track down the exact mechanics of climate change.
