"A Protein Primer"

Sometime, when you've got 13 minutes to spare, you might enjoy this.

As the narrator says, it shows "in a dynamic and joyful way" the process of protein synthesis.

And, I'd add, it's also a glimpse of what it was like to be a UC-San Diego student in 1971. Don't ya love it?

[This film reminds me of two things:
that the first science film I ever loved was "Powers of Ten" by Charles and Ray Eames--which I saw when I was about ten at the then-new Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum, and viewing it would be my favorite part of every subsequent trip to that museum. "Powers of Ten" was available on YouTube, but now it's not. So buy it or get your library to get it.
...and...
that once-upon-an-undergraduate-time, I was a member of the MOB--Rice's Marching Owl Band. I was one of the non-musicians, the "show assistants." We did zany stuff to music on the football field during halftime. Not exactly like this "Protein Primer," but the spirit's similar.]
