  1. Ted talks are always inspirational! I’m a med student from India and I’ve started my own YouTube adventure to spread the word and awareness related to doctors and their work especially in times of this pandemic. Love and support for the same would be appreciated. Thank you.

  2. *2020* : Molecular Animator

    *2050* : Molecule DNA Synthesizer/ Transcriber and Cloning

    *2100* : *Molecule* (End of world)

  3. The molecular world is fascinating to me If i had 9 lives I’d spend at least 3 as a scientist

  4. I’m so glad you did this presentation. I knew that there were those who made these animations of things we cannot see. Now I know that there is some one imagining some one’s conceptualizations abstracted from empirical tests. Its the best we can do until some one invents a way for us to actually see these critters at work. I imagine; therefore, I am.

  5. It’s an animation of a hypothesis, but still interesting.Would be really amazing to actually “see” it !
