TED Talk

David Bolinsky- Fantastic voyage inside the cell



I found this talk very interesting for a number of reasons. The first being that he is an animator and he works in a field that interests me, The second is that he appears to be very knowledge able of the parts of the cell and can create this lifelike videos to represent or illustrate there functions in the body. Lastly I find that his videos do create a spark of curiosity that I think helps benefit the medical world.

By creating this illustrations he is able to give students far more than text reading, He makes it possible to show in a more hands on fashion, just what is going on and how pivotal these “Micro Machines” really are. It’s hard to imagine the micro organisms that make up our cell structures. Even more amazing is how they work together in such a precise fashion that even makes life possible.
