Et voila!! (that’s swedish for ‘oil dumplings’)

Science is so exciting so once in a while. et_voila.jpgIt’s so exciting sometimes that even poor programmers like me don’t know what to do with amazing breakthroughs. Take a look at that pretty image for a change.

Apparantly it’s a computer generated image of the West Nile virus. Researchers at the Purdue university have managed to solve the structure of this evil virus. Which is truly a breakthrough. However, looking at the picture, I keep thinking of the average plastic toy from the neighbour’s boy next door. Worst yet: the high-resolution image doesn’t really show any ‘high resolution’. It’s still a funny blue ball. Where are the fireworks for breakthroughs like this one?
