The National Institutes of Health's National Institute of General Medical Sciences is committed to "basic discoveries for better health." Part of their work includes reaching out to the public through science education publications and online resources. This particular resource allows interested parties to explore the interior design of cells. The electronic booklet contains five chapters, a glossary, and a few bonus interactive features. The chapter titles include "Cells 101: Business Basics," "The Last Chapter: Cell Aging and Death," and "An Owner's Guide to the Cell." Each chapter contains prose that is witty and erudite, accompanied by everything from detailed digital photographs of meiosis to colorful diagrams. Moving on, the Extras area includes an interactive tour of the cell and a crossword puzzle.
