  • Dna cartoons – dna as a ladder

    Genetics cartoon: the dna double helix as a ladder

    Genetics cartoon
    DNA cartoon

    The dna double helix as a ladder, with a person climbing up it

    The shape of the dna double helix makes it easy to use the dna molecule in metaphors about the nature of life (at both the physically and psychological levels). Here it’s being used as a ladder to invoke the idea of live as a journey (again both physically and psychologically, with the physical aspects being anything from evolution over eons to the length of a single human life)

  • Large Hadron Collider Cartoon – LHC cartoon

    Large Hadron Collider cartoon

    Large Hadron Collider cartoon
    LHC cartoon

    A cartoon about the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. The collider wss being used in the search for the Higg’s boson or ‘God Particle’.

    The cartoon shows a hypothetical gift of a kaleidoscope in the research centre’s gift shop at CERN.
    The end of the kaleidoscope resembles the radiating spokes of the LHC, hence the Large Hadron Colliderscope.

    A cartoon about merchandizing subatomic particle physics, merchandising science.
