Talk about a cool name for a scientific discipline. Take a look at these photos of biological petri dish specimens, and you’ll immediately have a better understanding of what’s at the root of this scientific branch. If you like those and want to see even more, check out the artful photos by Eshel Ben Jacob, Professor of Physics at the School of Physics and Astronomy, Tel Aviv University.
On the same site as the original, Pruned, I also saw a set of wonderful micrographs of moon rocks that are definitely worth a quick look.
