At that same meeting over the past weekend, I heard Tim Mitchison give an interesting talk about mitosis and pharmacogenetics. For any of you who don't know, Tim's lab has been at the fore front of analyzing how the mitotic spindle operates. Tim was the first to visualize microtubules, the major…
Randy Olson left a career as a marine biologist (Titleist!) to become a film maker. His first feature project was Flock of Dodos, a movie I enjoyed. His second film is Sizzle, a movie reviewed by lots of ScienceBloggers a couple weeks ago. The gist: a lot of ScienceBloggers didn't like sizzle.…

I'm voting for PKU (#3).
I didn't like the music in #1. I wish I had more to say but I just can't get past that. Sorry.
#2 seemed rather dry. The animation was good, but the narration was like someone reading a couple of paragraphs out of a textbook. I didn't feel like the narrator was explaining anything to me but simply reciting a script.
#3 had what I found deficient in both of the above videos (and yes, I do have Thomas Dolby on my iPod--so sue me!). The animation was cute and the explanations were clear and included examples. (Very important!) I didn't care too much for the Coke commercial--the idea was clever, but for all the trouble they went through they could have made a faux commercial that was biology related. Maybe I'm nitpicking a bit about the Coke ad, but those are my thoughts.
There you have it--my vote and the why.
