So who's the artist and who's the scientist here? As a matter of fact, David Goodsell is both. Complex forms from the molecular world lend themselves to visual exploration, and sometimes little alteration is necessary to create an image of extraordinary beauty.
As well as being an assistant professor in the Department of Molecular Biology at the Scripps Research Institute, David Goodsell is also the author of two books: The Machinery of Life and "Our Molecular Nature: The Body's Motors, Machines and Messages, published by Springler-Verlag, New York.

At first glance, Steve Miller's "Self-Portrait SBld_2Bvirus" might be taken for a somewhat odd scientific image. However this piece, from the
Visible Artist Project, comes not from the lab, but from the artist's studio.
