Fantastic Voyage Inside The Cell
I chose to view David Bolinsky's speech on the voyage inside the cell. I thought it would be rather interesting. It was but sadly it was rather short. He spent the first 6minutes out of ten explaining how there is truth and beauty in things and that some don't quite see that when you talk about science and cells. The studies that are being done at Harvard are coming up with animations of the life inside cells and visually displaying what is going on. The three minute clip that he shared was amazing. When it comes to learning I need to do it visually and that is exactly what the video was teaching. David Bolinsky said that they only know a percent of what is going on and that they plan on continuing this for the next 4-5 years. I'm taking online biology this semester and I know that if videos like his were made available to the course it would make it more enjoyable and much better to understand.

I didn't listen to that TED talk because I'm not much into Science but was wondering what type of Cell was he speaking about? Any in particular or just about cells in general? Just Curious!
I found his video very interesting as well. Being able to visually see what someone is talking about is more important than ever, especially in science. We are beginning to discover new and very complex parts of the human body and it will only get more complicated. Teachers need to employ far more visual aids because of this. I know when I took Biology it was more on the lecture side and its hard to remember or even picture what’s going on without seeing it first hand. What sort of format do you have in your Biology Class?
