A simple diagram illustrating electrical action along a molecular bond.
Three dimensional universes represented as two dimensional membranes. The membranes collide, causing a Big Bang effect. As the explosions cool, galaxies form. The universes move away from each other and expand. Eventually the energy dissipates and they gravitate together again. The cycle repeats into infinity. And that's just how it is.
Showing some neural activity in the brain.
Represented by sparks and flames on the map, early humans leave Aftrica and enter Europe.
Neanderthals populate Europe before the arrival of early humans from Africa. Their numbers total only about 10,000.
One of the early humans who had contact with the Neanderthals of Europe.
Distribution of shells provides clues to the mingling of populations.
The arrival of Early Modern Humans into Europe puts the squeeze on the Neanderthals, who retreat into Gibraltar and become extinct.
Models derived from PDB source data.
A stem cell is infected with various viruses carrying dna, and the cell then multiplies.
The machine performs cellular assays under shear flow.

Starting with a ball of molten rock four and a half billion years ago, this timeline shows solidification of landmasses, formation and breakup of Pangaea, ice ages and formation of the East Coast of the US.
The timeline shown here begins 850 million years ago with the supercontinent known as Rodinia and ends in the present day with an apparently warming planet.
Starting three billion years ago with single-celled organisms, we move through early insects such as cockroaches, into fish, dinosaurs, and mammals.
The colonization and successive industrialization of North America, with hope for a cleaner future.
This museum animation is controlled with a spin browser, so the viewer can scroll through at any speed.

Opening sequence for PBS pilot series.
Showing the shark habitat of Glover's Reef in context of large coral reefs of the region.
Carl travels from Long Island to the island of Pemba. Map is keyed over video.
Promo title sequence for pilot series.
Glaciers retreating from the Adirondack Mountains, causing a flood through Chazy Gulf into the region now known as Vermont. The 3D terrain was created with digital elevation data of the area.
Created for the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
A 3D fly through of the human gut, populated with microbes of various shapes and sizes. As we travel through the digestive tract, we see bacteria that may cause tooth decay, ulcers, and even cancer.
Here we see the assembly of what Keasling calls a "DNA toolkit" made from bits of DNA from living cells. Match move to video petri dish at end.
Swapping out some DNA. For green screen interview - talent on right side.
These enzymes, which resemble multicolored raspberries, work tirelessly to release sugars from carbohydrate chains in plant cell walls. These sugars can make fuel. This animation keys over field of grasses at end.
Shutting the molecule that allows the Lassa virus into the cell.
Gene goes into bug, bug goes into plant cell, gene goes into cell from bug. Single cell reproduces into "tens of thousands" in a petri dish (match to video).
The film uses the book to transition between chapters. Page turn wipes to footage.

How a healthy immune system deals with infection. Macrophages take bacteria to t-cells, which produce antibodies
In a healthy system, antibodies and macrophages can efficiently clear a bacterial infection from the bloodstream.
How HIV uses macrophages and t-cells to spread throughout the lymphatic system and disrupt the immune response.
In a compromised immune system, infection spreads rapidly.
HIV spreads throughout the blood.
