Nine scientists call out their favorite cells
Nine scientists from Stanford Medicine share their favorite cells, highlighting their unique characteristics and vast impact on human evolution, development, and health.

Note
what a fun way to explore a complex field. the topic of cells allowed for a lot of creative story telling through the use of images capturing these cells to the assignment of human traits and emotions.
i like this better than reading about a random cell a day.
i could imagine this approach being used in other fields as well.
