The images in this year’s Biomedical Image Awards are amazing:
The Biomedical Image Awards 2006 is a striking display of shapes and patterns, and illustrates the microscopic structures of living organisms in a spectacular variety of ways.
Selected by a team of expert judges from recent acquisitions by the Medical Photographic Library of the Wellcome Library, the winning images show a wide variety of subjects, most invisible to the naked eye, revealing new layers of complexity.
By the way, the image above is that of a stem cell, chosen to highlight W’s latest mind-numbingly ignorant decision to cast the first veto of his administration on a bill funding stem cell research because he felt it necessary to impose his skewed, hypocritical sense of “morality” on others rather than act in a truly Christian way. God forbid he actually did something that solved some of society’s problems rather than caused them. What an asshole. </rant>
