Exploring Life's Origins with Janet Iwasa

From Andre at biocurious:

Janet Iwasa has had an unusual scientific career. After finishing her PhD with Dyche Mullins at UCSF she started a postdoc in Jack Szostak's lab at Harvard but not to do bench work or even simulations like her postdoc colleagues. Instead, Janet is a full time animator and graphic designer.

Some of Janet's work can be viewed at her website, onemicron.com. Her latest work, a website called Exploring Life's Origins explores the early evolution of cellular life, including the RNA world hypothesis and the emergence of a protocell.
