IT'S A BIRD, IT'S A PLANE, IT'S AN...EMBRYO!

Just wanted to relay this article and the cool photos. Apparently, scientists now have access to a super microscope that can capture the very beginning of cells coming together to form an embryo. The article is about seeing this in a zerbrafish. However, they say the technology might eventually help solve the mysteries of autoimmune viruses and tumors in humans.

Haven't shown my kids yet, but I hope they'll find it interesting. Hope yours will, too!
Happy Yom Kippur to those who celebrate it!
