The University of Central Oklahoma is sponsoring a talk from Tony DeRose, leader of the Pixar studios research group and creator of the character “Geri“. It’s a free event beginning at 4pm on October 7th.

“The reality is mathematics is essential for modern technology including cell phones, CDs, DVDs and of course, animated movies. It is mathematics that brings the characters you see in the animated films to life,” said Simmons.

DeRose is one of the major designers responsible for the character Geri, who appears in the Oscar winning short film “Geri’s Game,” as well as in “Toy Story II.”

If you’re in Heidelberg, Germany during early March you might want to check out the VizBi conference on biological data visualization.

The goal of the workshop is to bring together, for the first time, researchers developing and using systems to visualize a broad range of biological data, including sequences, genomes, phylogenies, macromolecular structures, systems biology, microscopy, and magnetic resonance imaging. In selecting topics for this workshop, we have focused on the visualization of processed and annotated data in their biological context, rather than the processing of raw data.

They’ve got a long list of speakers, including a keynote by Ben Fry.  They’re currently accepting abstracts and applications.

An EMBO Workshop on Visualizing Biological Data (VizBi).
