Hi Helvi:
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The NCSA Gravity Group has been working on this front for some time now. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">We have ongoing collaborations with Ian Hinder at the AEI in the context of binary black hole simulations, and now with other European colleagues working on the use of GRHydro for matter simulations. We are participating actively within LIGO developing
code to convert cactus simulations into the format requested by LIGO to use numerical relativity simulations, and so on and so forth…</div>

<div class="">In terms of eye candy for tax payers, feel free to use the following videos. All of them advertise the use of the ET for the scientific visualizations </div>

<div class="">Dear all,<br class="">
<br class="">
</div>
let me pick up on our discussion on the visibility of the Einstein Toolkit within the LIGO/VIRGO Scientific collaboration, our scientific community in general and the public that we had during the workshop last week.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">In the end of the week we are opening our traveling exhibition <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__serviastro.am.ub.edu_twiki_bin_view_ServiAstro_UniversFosc&d=DwMFaQ&c=8hUWFZcy2Z-Za5rBPlktOQ&r=SSRVjDlLLsQaEiZy7iM8BPn1ElYHYzXg46PmKPii77k&m=VYIJofUgfNE97s57tFHay0qGLW-imGjvAX9zO-fMjAg&s=BENUZJgSzAtjc5-cl49sPMs6-w51dhnUKLNyqet2d6Y&e=" class="">"Unraveling
the dark universe"</a> and, as probably many of you these days, we will have a number of outreach talks about gravitational waves. In this context I was looking for animations produced with the toolkit, in addition to the BBH material that I already had from
the SXS collaboration, to give more credit to it.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I noticed a few things that we could improve</div>
<div class="">- update the gallery on the website. At the moment the only animation of an event is that by Barry for GW150914. It would be nice to have more of a collection for the other events, and in particular for GW170817. As first step we could collect
links to the youtube channels of different groups.</div>
<div class="">- that brings me to a second suggestion: should we bundle those animations, e.g., in a ET youtube channel? At the moment, a quick search leads to filmed talks and lectures (which is important, too, of course), but try the same for SXS and you'll
get a list of animations by the collaboration. A first step to give more visibility to the toolkit could be to add the logo to the credits.<br class="">
</div>
<div class="">
<div class="">
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">This is essentially to spark some discussion, and if there is interest, we can follow up on it in one of the next calls.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">cheers,</div>
