Here's a really nice little doco about roots made by the team I work with here at The University of Nottingham.  It's very cool technology complete with robots, modelling, image analysis, microCT...oh yeah and PLANTS!

This is simply amazing!  These kind of experiments are the reason I loved physics at school!

Stunning visualisations of the inner workings of the cell at: http://multimedia.mcb.harvard.edu/

The multimedia artist in charge of the graphics gave a TED talk.  Science communication is extremely important and these visualisations are fantastic.  It's also an example of other 'science' careers that are just as important as the lab research!  https://www.ted.com/talks/david_bolinsky_animates_a_cell


Enjoy!

After several stunning days in the East Midlands, this afternoon saw a brief rain shower which brought on one of my favourite scents - 'Summer' rain!

Then I saw this article and included video....Fantastic!
