Computer-animated Inner Life of the Cell

This is so cool I am posting from work!

This animation is amazing--great if you remember your cellular biology, but fascinating even if you don't. Best with the sound turned on; the score definitely adds to the experience.

A play-by-play description (just in case your biology is rusty):

And a bit of background about how the whole thing came together:

According to the comments from the last link, there is also a version of the animation with voice-over explaination at http://multimedia.mcb.harvard.edu/media.html (but I haven't tried it).

Go watch! So neat!

Ooo!

Now I need to watch it again when I'm not working... and I have sound.
