But what can they learn from scientists to develop new gameplay opportunities? And how can scientists leverage the power of games to further their own research or communicate their findings? In this first episode of "The Tenth Art", we invite David Louapre, Scientific Director at Ubisoft, andDr. Janice Bailey, Scientific Director at the Fonds de Recherche du Québec-Nature et Technologies, to explore the relationship between science and games. We discuss games that make use of scientific research or thinking, including games that leverage player input to generate data, and what further opportunities our guests see to bring science and games together for the good of humanity and our planet.
