R´ha – Kaleb Lechowski

This incredibly well done science-fiction short shows us a scene of the interrogation of a four-armed alien by a machine intelligence.

Kaleb Lechowski is in his first year at Berlin’s Mediadesign Hochschule — for now. It appears the film has caught the eye of movie execs and word is that the 22 year old will be on his way to Hollywood soon.

The Story of You: ENCODE and the human genome

Ever since a monk called Mendel started breeding pea plants we’ve been learning about our genomes. In 1953, Watson, Crick and Franklin described the structure of the molecule that makes up our genomes: the DNA double helix. Then, in 2001, scientists wrote down the entire 3-billion letter code contained in the average human genome. Now they’re trying to interpret that code; to work out how it’s used to make different types of cells and different people. The ENCODE project, as it’s called, is the latest chapter in the story of you.
