A Message from the Authors

Poetry Meets Science

Imagine sunlight meeting raindrops at the sky. In that magical moment poetry begins to merge with science. While the scientist within us ponders over how the rainbow formed, the poet revels at what just happened. Despite these different points of view, the experience is unique and mesmerizing, especially when they meet.

Bridge is designed to inspire and allow anyone to explore this beautiful world around and reach for the world beyond by moving back and forth between reality and imagination.

Cells & Genetics

Cells are the smallest living unit of all forms of life. Cella, in Latin means tiny room. Robert Hooke, a scientist, coined the term after he invented the microscope. The human body is built from 100 trillion cells
