Lab Mom spent 15 years as a Lab Manager in Academia before off-tracking in 2010 to stay at home with her two daughters. She blogs about the juggling act of motherhood and a science career, which encompasses a lot more then the cliche work-life balance.

I have blogged about it before: I am a visual person. I love the beauty in science.
Frequently you see microscopy** featured as for its artisanship, but National Geographic has proven that the beauty in science goes beyond the microscopic.
Check out a few of the images in their list of the Best Science Pictures of 2010.
3D illustrations of HIV:
A mustard plant gene map:
An educational fungus poster:
This isn't to say that National Geographic is ignoring the micro-world. Those winners are fantastic too. And if that isn't enough, you can also peruse last year's winners.
My personal favorite is a human lung model made of 75,000 ZIP-TIES!!
Science is so awesome!
**Seriously, click on that link if you haven't seen the Nikon Small World Contest winners. They are phenomenal.
