Drive-by view of cell size and scale

The University of Utah Genetics Science Learning Center has a fun, animated view that puts various cell sizes in perspective. The online resource, aptly named “Cell Size and Scale,” allows you to go from coffee bean to carbon atom and everything in between. Definitely one of the cooler things we’ve seen in a while. So head on over to Utah’s website and check it out. Just move the slider underneath the image to start your journey. For you lazy folks, check out the video above of the whole experience.
