In addition to climbing mountains and pretending to know how to cook, I spend a lot of my time in Switzerland doing research, where I work with with very, very small cells, proteins, antibodies, as well as other microscopic biomolecules. Sometimes it’s hard to grasp just how small these guys really are.

I read a lot of science blogs/articles/etc (ginormous nerd, I know). and came across this.
I thought it was pretty well done-it starts with a coffee bean and zooms in to a carbon atom, and traces the size and scale of several biological entities in between. In addition to being fun, it also helps you to get a feel for the size of this tiny world I spend a ridiculous amount of time trying to understand.
