Olympic Opening and Biology Nerd

Written by WTJ on August 9, 2008 – 1:02 pm -

I must be crazy thinking all these random things while watching the Olympic Opening last night.

This was the scene where the drummers beating drums with light stick as the light was off.  This reminded me of the fluorescence chromosomes.

This was the scene which the Olympic Rings were raised in a 3D-style.  I thought it’s some kind of new plasmids conjugation mechanisms.

This round ball resembled a cell, and the people walking on it were the molecules on the cell surface, such as receptors.

There was this Zheng He’s voyage scene that reminded me of DNA strand, but I could not find the picture for it.

      has anyone notice the Olympic official website translate wrongly all M’sian athletes’ chinese name?
      China press made a really funny joke and they made a fool of themselves.
      Shame on them for simply translate other people’s name.

      Too engrossed in biology, my friend=). I never thought about plasmids when I see the Olympic logo. It’s probably because I don’t work with them anymore. Btw, this is a good post! Very creative (and nerdy too).
