Archaeologists and researchers from the humanities tend to believe that their images are easy to comprehend. Look at this photo of a Neolithic grave, roughly 4.800 years old. Analysis shows "the tidy, systematic nature of the burial" and "suggests they were laid to rest with care". Norbert Hirschinger mentions: this image does not look like "care" but like chaos. Therefore it is difficult to understand. - Always ask someone from a different discipline: "What do you see on this image?", before using it in science communication.
This 5000-year-old mass grave hides a family tragedy Mothers, sons, and siblings fill the grave—but where are the fathers?

A highly respected scientist who not only communicated passionately but had the grandeur to engage with popular formats like Star Trek and The Big Bang Theory has gone. RIP Stephen Hawking.
In loving memory of Stephen Hawking. It was an honor to have him on The Big Bang Theory. Thank you for inspiring us and the world.

Great visualization of a penumbral (left) and total solar eclipse. The DLR hints that no cookies were harmed during this test (otherwise than afterwards, we guess).
Mit Blick auf die bevorstehende Sonnenfinsternis in Nordamerika (21.8.) haben wir hier mal in einer extrem aufwendigen Visualisierung den Unterschied zwischen einer partiellen (links) und einer totalen (rechts) Sonnenfinsternis veranschaulicht. ⠀
PS: Für diesen Versuch mussten keine Kekse leiden [stimmt nicht ganz].
When giving an interview always be prepared for surprising moments.

Impressive animation that communicates numbers through time and visualizes the unimaginable. This interactive was designed and built by Slate.com.

Magnificent video by the science communicators and curators of The Field Museum.

Interessant, dass sich hier ein Zeitschriftenartikel mit dem Phänomen "Medialisierung" befasst.
