The wood lab videos are part of wood science courses offered at Aalto University, Finland (https://www.aalto.fi/en/wood/wood-sci...) and are designed by Dr. Kristiina Lillqvist, Dr. Daniela Altgen, Dr. Michael Altgen, Prof. Mark Hughes. The videos were produced at Aalto University under the supervision of Prof. Lauri Rautkari, who is leading the Wood Material Science research group (https://www.aalto.fi/en/department-of....

The videos are available at @aalto-wood and are part of online learning material development project funded by the Wood building program of the Ministry of Environment (https://ym.fi/en/wood-building).

The videos were shot and edited by filmmaker Pasi Pelkonen from Aalto Studios.
