Artistic scientist David Goodsell provides an etymological explanation for his new series of watercolors:

CYTOLOGY

[noun]

(from Greek ?????, kytos, “a hollow”; and -?????, -logia) “the study of cells”. Cytology is the branch of life science which deals with the study of cells in terms of structure, function and chemistry.

Highlighting tiny cells’ visual dynamism at 1,000,000x magnification, Goodsell does justice to nature’s critical “building blocks.”
