What is Mosaic?
a) the art of creating images with
an assemblage of small pieces of colored glass, stone, or other materials.
b) a collection of compelling stories
that explore the science of life?
Top marks if you answered a and b – and
never mind if you didn’t.
Simply check out Mosaic, launched by
the Wellcome Trust and now bookmarked as one of my regular reads.
In the first week's issue I particularly liked The Alzheimer’s Enigma which asks whether we will ever be able to pinpoint the cause of this devastating condition if,
like good detectives, we gather enough clues.
Another feature that told me things I didn't know was The Future
of Sex which is about the reinvented female condom – once described
as as a plastic bag
with the erotic appeal of a jellyfish.
The image used to accompany the article
sparked a bit of a Twitterfest – what do you think?
