Two dysfunctional brothers have little in common except the blood in their veins. The main protagonist is a brilliant and idealistic molecular biologist and although this is fiction is based on a real character. He champions a highly controversial theory that the human race will become extinct. His brother in contrast seems base and shallow.

Butterfly Wings Inspire Better Sensors
April 7, 2014 0 Comments
“Imitating nature is not a new idea. When the GE team put Morpho wings under a powerful microscope, they saw a layer of tiny scales just tens of micrometers across. In turn, each of the scales had arrays of ridges a few hundred nanometers wide. This complex structure absorbs and bends light and givesMorfo butterflies their trademark shimmering blue and green coat.”

Mapping and manipulating the brain at scale – Jeremy Freeman
March 20, 2014 0 Comments
The behavior of an animal reflects computations across its entire nervous system, involving the coordinated activity of thousands of neurons within and across multiple brain areas. New technologies for imaging the nervous system allow us to monitor neural function at unprecedented scales. But the data sets are quickly outpacing the capabilities of ordinary analytical approaches. They are large (one terabyte or more per hour), complex, and high-dimensional, and we want to understand their structure as it evolves over both space and time.
