In high school, I always found it difficult to visualize chemical reactions. This past week, we were able to create proteins using very small models and for me, everything made complete sense. It was a great moment of realization and understanding.
Earlier, I had done a lot of art research while thinking of what piece to discuss in my midterm. There was one physics-based piece that, to me, is absolutely striking. The reason I didn’t choose this work of art was because the artist, Gerry Judah, had no real scientific intent behind it. However, from a physicist’s perspective, one could take the piece as an expression of the amazing downforce produced by Formula 1 cars. Either way, it’s an incredible sculpture. (link below)
