more Brainbow! this is the brain stem.

So this is an amazing thing we talked about in bio the other day. It’s a method called Brainbow. It’s really hard to track neurons when they can get so long and tangly, as you can see in this light microscopy of a mouse hippocampus, so scientists can mark each neuron with a different color of fluorescence via transgenes that produce fluorescent proteins. What a brilliant solution!

this only begins to explain why i want to study science and art together.

if nature presented itself at the molecular level to the naked eye on a daily basis, perhaps we’d all live in a state of awe at the natural beauty we never realized existed.
