David Bolinsky talks about truth and beauty in science, particularly on the molecular level (flash video). One of the medical animators who worked on Cellular Visions: The Inner Life of a Cell (previously), he also provides some commentary about the first three minutes of the Cellular Visions animation.

Further truth and beauty normally invisible to the eye at the Biomedical Image Awards gallery, Nikon Small World Competition, and in Plant Cellular Anatomy where the stains used flouresce with fascinating results.

  • Amazing stuff. I've been a cell fanatic since reading Lewis Thomas Lives of a Cell back in the late seventies. What's so totally amazing is that he was cutting edge then, and now much of it is outdated. Thanks, Christophine!
