This article was first published in mappingignorance.org Some weeks ago in Naukas.com I wrote about the wonderful latest video released by the team responsible for the Inner Life of a Cell which deals with the intricacies of cell trafficking in the inside of a neuron.

No. I am refering to the Small World 2012 Microphotography Contest, the annual Nikon scientific photography contest, that just like every other year brings us…
