I've been working with Ann Batiza's SUN Project on two e-books about electron transfer in mitochondria and chloroplasts. Take a look by clicking on the images above.
As part of the CREST Project, I've been working with the Center for Biomolecular Modeling at MSOE on several projects, including a clickable version of paintings designed by students. The "clickable coated pit" is linked to the image above.
I just did an interview with Zygote Quarterly, a new online journal devoted to the "nexus science and design as they meet in the sphere of biomimicry." Click to take a look...
I just completed a painting of an entire Mycoplasma cell. Click here for more information.
3-D Molecular Designs is offering posters of paintings from "The Machinery of Life." Click here for more information.
The new edition of "The Machinery of Life" is now available--click here for information.
I am writing a series of papers in the journal "Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education" that describe the science behind the illustrations in the book. Here are the ones that are published so far:
A nice editorial by Judy and Don Voet about the series of articles
Neuromuscular Synapse
Escherichia coli
