When Cinema and Biology Meet

Few days ago, I read an interesting article in the New York Times homepage. It was about the biological/medical illustration. Truly people are doing extraordinary works to visualize 'the life'. Seeing is believing. They think that presenting visualized biological objects/events will attract many kids/students in life science and also help them to understand the life.

Below is the link for the article.
