Shakespeare: A Mirror up to Science
History
Julie Newdoll collaborated with Marcia Eppich-Harris to merge the concepts in Hamlet with scientific mechanisms for preserving the good of the organism by causing infected or damaged cells to self-destruct. This program of cell death is called apoptosis.
Date
2009
Cells must sometimes accept death for the good of the organism, and one means of accomplishing this task is via a pre-programmed system that exists in our cells called Apoptosis. In this series, the decision tree that Hamlet follows is compared with the steps a cell must make when faced with an order from the body to self-destruct.
