I'm taking an Anatomy-Physiology class this semester and luckily shedding some of the initial fear and growing a coat of appreciation and voracious interest. I went in last week in a porous state and soaked in The Cell. My teacher, Dr. Greg Russell, showed us the following video which I found tremendously moving.
Throughout the lecture he would point out what we were looking at and function of these organelles and I immediately gained eternal praise for the process of life. Most of it is protein synthesis or movement or transfer. This is happening inside tens of trillions of cells in my body RIGHT NOW. If that doesn't floor everybody else I really don't know what will. And why it's taken me so long to get into biology is beyond me.
You can see the full-length narrated (science jargon-ated) version of The Inner Life of the Cell HERE.
