Ant-Man and The Wasp

The first question most people ask is whether we got funding to work on this–we definitely did not; this work was entirely on our own dime!

This talk was a part of the Nutshell Games, which were put on by the Virginia Tech Center for Communicating Science. Participants were required to explain their work in 90 seconds or less to a panel of eight judges including Virginia Tech alumni and two seventh grade students from local schools.
