  • At this scale we'd be seeing with electrons not photons, and everything would be gold coated. It's unlikely the head would be transparent. But other than that, not bad. False color gets applied to the B&W EM images, which helps.

    Rabies is shaped like a bullet!

    "Obligate intracellular parasite" was drilled and showed up on multiple exams, along with all that you mentioned. I've also heard "escaped cellular machinery."

    Absolutely fascinating...if a tad frightening.

  • It looks like they were going for cellular scale, which would explain the absence of icosahedral shapes as viruses would be way too small at this scale. However, some parts look like colonies rather than cells.

    Most cells would not be this colorful unless stained or grown on media that colors them.

    Hard to say what specifically they were trying to portray. MRSA and Strep look represented, still looking for Candida auris. Maybe some cyanobacteria?

    To tell friend from foe would require more than looking at them--DNA sequencing, drug resistance assay, etc.

  • Looked like it from the picture, but I wasn't sure. Then I went back and forth on "lupin" or "lupine". Didn't know that about Iceland.

  • Lupine?

  • That wiki entry was a wild ride. It should be required reading in school.

  • 4 laws passed in 3 states over the last 2 years with 1 million dollars.

    Clever and impressive. Will YT brush this off and move on or double down and wade into it? Would you want to pick a fight with clever, eloquent nerds who seem to enjoy battling dragons, or EEE while quietly going about other business?

  • What if the shells were on something like a joystick, such that left-right could be one scale and up-down could be another?

    Or maybe sliders in the grooves of the shell?

    I love your project and hope it comes to fruition. Best of luck.

  • A nucleophile happens by and notices your electrophile. Your electrophile is attracted to their greater electron density and ditches you, the leaving group, for them. Was this SN1 or SN2?

  • And calculus notes.
