Not long ago, I posted a link to the great video “Inner Life of a Cell” from Harvard University.  The video tracks a white blood cell as it moves, locates and responds to a cell signal.  Being a cell biologist, the first thing I wanted to know was “what is going on here?!” … you know, the details.

Harvard has done the hard work for me, so instead of my explanation, enjoy this hi-def, detailed look at the magic that takes place in the cells of your body, every minute of every day.

This is why we study science.

Since I didn’t have to do any hard work, is there anything in the video that doesn’t make sense?  What would you like to know more about?
