Videos of the Day

http://www.ted.com/talks/jake_shimabukuro_plays_bohemian_rhapsody.html

I do realize that this video is completely unrelevant to biology, but I stumbled across this video from the website, Ted.com, and I loved it! I'm already a huge Queen fan, and Bohemian Rhapsody is such a classic, but the fact that he did this on a ukulele is amazing! I hope you enjoy it!


---Okay, so I just went back to ted.com and discovered a video that is completely relevant to biology!! It is really quite stunning, and it brings life to that which brings life to us....our cells! I will copy and paste the link below, but for the first 7 minutes or so of the video David Bolinsky (the creator of this amazing video) is just talking about his actual video that animates the cell. You don't get to see his video until he is through with talking about it, but bear with it, for it is truly fascinating.

--He stated in the video that this is basically a "Reader's Digest" version of the real thing.
