[Origami] Vote for origami in the "Vizzies"
Hi folks, I work with the nice folks at Brigham Young University on some research projects funded by the US National Science Foundation, and the NSF co-sponsors an international competition on visualization in the world of science and engineering, called the "Vizzies". The BYU folks submitted a video, and it was selected as one of the ten finalists! They've now opened the voting to the public. So I'm encouraging (asking? requesting?) everyone to visit the contest website (https://review.wizehive.com/voting/nsfvizziesgallery/27429) and vote for the origami entry! (Hint #1: it's the one that looks like the offspring of a flasher and a spacecraft. Hint #2: it's titled "How origami is inspiring scientific creativity." Hint #3: You can also see the video and vote on this page: https://review.wizehive.com/voting/view/nsfvizziesgallery/27429/2436540/0.) Feel free to pass this link (and voting recommendation) on, and thanks in advance! (There are some other pretty cool visualizations there as well.) Enjoy, Robert

So I'm encouraging (asking? >requesting?) everyone to...vote for the origami entry! Hi all, Thanks to all the origami folks who voted for the BYU entry in the NSF Vizzie awards, because WE WON!!! Woo-hoo! See, the internet is good for more than cat videos and photos of food, it's also good for crashing polls and stuffing ballot boxes! So thanks to everyone, and if you'd like to see the winning entry, it's here: http://www.popsci.com/engineers-origami-inspiring-scientific-creativity Best regards, Robert
