Science Communicators, Get Your GIF On
The first animated GIF I ever made was a flaming red danger sign. The year was 1997, and I’d just started my own graphic design page on the free website-building platform, Geocities. The most popular GIF at the time was the Dancing Baby, known for its appearance that same year on the TV show Ally McBeal. My GIF obsession started as a childhood hobby but has since become a major part of my job as a science communicator.

Earlier today I read this amazing NPR story (seriously, well done, skunkbear) and watched their incredible video on the New Horizons success, and I would suggest you all go do the same right now.
But, do yourself a favor and watch the original source video for Ray Bradbury reading “If Only We Had Taller Been.” I’m not ashamed to admit that I teared up while watching both videos and I can’t even count how many times I’ve watched them both in the last eight hours.
