RE: Science in Hollywood: I Origins (2014)
Another good post. I remember you recommending I Origins in your first Science in Hollywood article so I'm glad you wrote a bit more about it (and reminded me that I've got to give it a look). My favorite part was when you pointed out that C. elegans would be the obvious candidate species for this research. Its always fun to point out the nitpicks that are glaring to a scientists but common moviegoers wouldn't notice.
Thanks! Yes, and it also opens an opportunity to geek out and share some science with our audience here in Steemit. Yeah, having specialized knowledge in a field certainly creates lots of facepalm and WTF moments when watching a film, sometimes it adds to the fun, but in others, like in this case, there's quite a bit of real scientific material that gets presented to the public in an entertaining way.
