"The Antibiotic Apocalypse" - In A Nutshell
At the end of SuperChickens?, I promised a link to a video from In A Nutshell. Here you go!
This is relevant to my interests...
This morning, my husband showed me a TED Ed talk about why tattoos are permanent. I could (and may well) do an entire post on why TED talks, be they TED, TEDx, or TED Ed, are not just fascinating, but incredibly useful, but for the moment, let's just enjoy this video: http://ed.ted.com/lessons/what-makes-tattoos-permanent-claudia-aguirre

Biology's Central Dogma
One of the basic tenents of Biology is that DNA, found in the nucleus of every cell, is translated by RNA and codes for proteins that build and carry out the functions of life. In this video (brought to me by LinkedIn) you can see it happen via animation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kOGOY7vthk
HIV replication
Another LinkedIn video, this one an animation of the replication of HIV/AIDS inside the human host. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ej7MaNEZ09g
Even better overview...
I love to find videos or apps that help review or overview essential concepts. I'll have to work on finding & sharing the ones I've found so far, but this one was even better than the one from Pfizer. This is slightly longer, just under 7 minutes, but it's a more complete overview of the immune system. It still isn't perfect, but it's hard to get a good, complete, perfectly accurate overview of an entire system in such a short video. This is one of the best I've seen. I haven't watch the other videos, but I'll be checking them out - watch for updates on the channel here. Why You Are Still Alive - The Immune System Explained
