Super Cells has grown wings and flown over to Newcastle. Yes, I know, you’re struck dumb at the improbability of this terrible metaphor, but far less than I am: having reviewed every word, every animation, every image, every concept of this exhibit, I’m completely baffled at how the feather follicle stem cells snuck in there in the first place. Hair follicle stem cells, yes; super heroes posing as stem cells, yes; even the limb-and-tail-regenerating stem cells of an axolotl. But feather stem cells? Not a one.
Kidding aside, we are thrilled that the Super Cells exhibit has begun its global tour. So is our partner in the UK, the Cell Therapy Catapult, and, judging from the video below, the Centre for Life and those who attended the recent opening, all give it thumbs up as well. The exhibit runs in Newcastle until April 19. We encourage you to fly over and see it for yourself.
Our regular feature, Right Turn, appears every Friday and we invite you to submit your own blog to info(at)ccrm.ca. We encourage you to be creative and use the right (!) side of your brain. We dare you to make us laugh! Right Turn features cartoons, photos, videos and other content to amuse, educate and encourage discussion.
As always, we welcome your feedback in the comment section.
