Both videos were very informative; the short one with music reminded me of scenes from the movie "What the Bleep Do We Know". The animation was fantastic, and it always helps to have a visual to go along with such complicated information. I really enjoyed the cargo vessels that were moving along the tracks ofmicrotubules because that was not how I would have pictured it happening if I had only heard the narration. The lipid rafts on the outer leaflet of the lipidbilayer were also very interesting looking. The videos were a great introduction into the tiny world of molecular machines, and I find it incredible that all of these processes can occur. All in all, the videos were not only educational, but also very intriguing thanks to amazinganimation.

Dear Ashley,

Good post! For your final paper, you could compare "What the Bleep Do We Know" to what you "know" after taking this class. That's the kind of thing that would make a great 5-page essay on your "class journey".

Take care,
Prof. Macosko
