How can we responsibly explore the unknown?
Watch the seventh and final episode of our animated Frankenstein series, Reanimation!
Produced in partnership with
Reanimation! is a seven-part series created by seven animation teams and 12 scientists, writers, engineers, physicists, and an archaeologist, on the lasting impact of Shelleyโs famous work.
Each episode waxes poetic about different scientific, ethical, and philosophical domains and the lessons weโve collectively learned from Dr. Frankensteinโs mistakes and triumphs.
In the seventh and final episode, Playing God, Britt Wray, science communicator, Sara Imari Walker, theoretical physicist, and Genevieve Dewar, paleoanthropologist and archaeologist, discuss how open, ethical debates between researchers and the public are the only way forward when dealing with the unknown. With whirlwind animation by the stop-motion animator Caitlin Craggs and sound by Skillbard.
