Naturally Obsessed: The Making of a Scientist
Naturally Obsessed is a movie that documents the trials and tribulations of a X-ray crystallographic laboratory (if you want to read the two page press release click here). I am doubtful that I will get the opportunity to view this film, but wanted to post about it in case the film ends up playing in your area.
Even if you won’t be able to see the movie, the website is worth looking at especially if you have everyone someone in your life that you have tried to explain what you do, but doesn’t really get it.
The site has a number of video clips, my favorite is under – the science -> X-ray Crystallography -> Prof. Richard Axel (first clip)
I still smile every time I see the student setting up crystal trays with the intense music in the background. I have come across a favorable review about the movie, but would love to hear from others that have seen it.
