Those wacky Swedes thought they were giving out a dynomite Nobel Prize last week for Chemistry to Osamu Shimomura, Martin Chalfie and Roger Tsien for discovering green
fluorescent protein, commonly called GFP, and developing the protein as a powerful
tool for basic biological research.
But take one look at this image and any stoner worth his bong knows the real purpose had to be to create cool psychedelic artwork.
Science news has a very cool slideshow depicting these trippy paintings masquerading as images of stuff inside your body lit up by the jellyfish protein. Enjoy, and if anyone asks, it's all in the name of science.
