City lights photographed from the International Space Station and Neurons imaged with fluorescence microscopy.

We can explore this at another level by remembering our old friend slime mold (see my previous slimy posts here), which give us reason to believe that some of the branching patterns and efficient pathways of connecting complex systems are sort of, well, inherent in nature.
It’s equal parts “amazing” and “not at all surprising” to find them here in neurons and cities, no?

About

I'm Joe Hanson, Ph.D. biologist and host/writer of PBS Digital Studios' It's Okay To Be Smart. Check out my "Episode Extras" here. There's a lot of amazing science out there. Let's go discover it together.

"Everyone's favorite Feynman of the Tumblr era" - Maria Popova

Joe's science book recommendations, from brains to biology to space to art to physics.

One of Time Magazine's 30 Must-See Tumblrs - 2012

Featured in The Best Science Writing Online - 2012

I'm working to change the way science is communicated and restore it to its rightful place. This is an indie blog that takes many hours a week to publish. If you'd like to support It's Okay To Be Smart, please consider even a small donation. Together we CAN!
