Ok. So I was going to write something pithy about he current BC Liberal leadership race. But then my lovely redheaded partner pointed me on to this amazing site called Flowing Data.com. It’s all about data visualization and there I saw an amazing example of how one can connect math with biology in an incredibly visual way.

I’ve always been interested in math and physics (and especially astronomy). But due to the lack of a mathematically inclined mind (John Nash I most certainly am not), I’ve never been able to really “get” the subject. Unlike many, I don’t see beauty in pi  – just a long string of integers. Maybe that’s why this video is so interesting and inspiring. Kudos to Christobal Vila for creating such a beautiful little piece.
