|
view preview
CellCraft is a truly great flash game about building, controlling, and surviving as a human cell, viewed at the microscopic scale. I was surprised to find how accurate the game was, depicting organelles correctly and even conversion ratios of glucose to ATP. The game is a great primer for those who wish to learn some cell biology, or even for those of us who know plenty about the cell but want a refresher without cracking open a textbook.

view preview
We couldn't make this stuff up if we tried: French beekeepers were shocked to find their bees had produced a supply of thick, blue honey. Turns out the bees had been feeding on the colourful shells of M&Ms - a Mars bar processing plant sat just 4 km away.
