Art and Microscopy

Here's a cool idea: pick a color palette for your website by sampling photomicrographs. There are some nice color samples there; I think I'd go with something along the lines of a DIC image of a zebrafish embryo, which would have lots of blues, a few weakly saturated yellows, and an occasional flare of gold from the birefringence. Time for a site redesign! If I had any time, that is.

Yep - this place is a bit dingy and smells of elderberries - time to freshen it up!

You need to change your photo, too.

Use the one w/the naked mole rat - you don't look so old in that one - more distinguished.

Yeah, but here's what's going to happen: people are going to start scanning all those horrid false-color scanning EM micropics in the textbooks and think they're extracting "natural" colors that were just photoshopped in in the first place.
I hate those things. Let me see the original beautiful grayscale image damnit!
