Magnotion wins first prize

The science and art project Magnotion received first prize in the Swedish national competition for science communication, arranged by Sweden’s largest public and private science funders.

The award was presented at the Forum for Science Communication, Gothenburg March 2021.

Magnotion is now available online at https://magnotion.org

The jury’s motivation:

“Magnotion surprises with research communication in luxury packaging. They link research on a small moth’s navigational skills to music, poetry, jewelry and perfume – the scent of science. It is innovative, original and boundary pushing and shows that only the imagination sets the limits for how research can be communicated. ”
