There was something so resonant about this image, i just had to reblog... the skies opening up to stars.  It is such a great visual for that moment in any long creative process where it all meshes and comes clear.  We live for those moments, because if you really think about it, the rest of it (the process) can be kind of crazy - like, why would anyone wanna go there?  Why? Because of this!  This is why.

Introducing my favourite protein: Kinesin! It’s so cute and I really want it as a plushie.

Kinesin is the little orange-y thing that looks like two big feet, walking over a microtubule. The big blue ball it carries is a vesicle full of large molecules that were produced in the center of the cell. Kinesin is a motor protein that carries this vesicle to where the molecules are needed in the cell, e.g. at the membrane. Kinesin’s partner in crime is Dynein that walks the microtubules towards the center of the cell. Especially Kinesin is thought to play an important role in mitosis, meiosis, axonal transport and more.

This gif was made from the brilliant animation made by BioVisions for Harvard University. ‘The Inner Life of the Cell’ is amazing and I think everybody should have seen it at least once in their life to get a better idea how much of a miracle life really is.

For all the Francophiles out there... a little bit of Paris, a little glimmer in your eye.

I can't wait to see this... not since Dragon Tattoo (well, okay, Prometheus... and Batman...) was there a film that I was this gaga to have to see.  Okay, "Intouchables" too...
