Description
"Differential Expressions: Key Experiments in Developmental Biology" is a CD-ROM that illustrates the lives and work of six influential scientists in the field. Each ten to 12 minute segment depicts a seminal experiment in developmental biology, combining extensive illustrations and original experimental video with a videotaped interview of the scientist who performed it. Hearing these biologists talk informally about their work, students come away with a sense of the warmth and humanity of these great names who, despite personal or historical circumstances, had the courage to see what others had not. The CD-ROM is augmented, through an internet connection, by additional information about each scientist.
