tour of testis

Did I show you the pictures from my tour of the larger-than-life testis? It was very cool in the Fantastic Voyage sense, although it didn't make me feel like Raquel Welch. The images are dark--click to enlarge--because the action shows up better in the midnight environment.

Avatars wear a tour hud to view the stages of development of sperm and are encouraged to use the mouselook view. I think this simulation would be of terrific interest to science students who are visual learners.

I'm lucky I went when it was announced by Doug Danforth of Ohio State University. It is unavailable now to general visitors. I got in when he wanted viewers to test it out. But you can visit the TELRport island where other research projects are going on: http://slurl.com/secondlife/TELRport/89/211/24
