That's life

The Friar and the Pea - The Life and Legacy of Gregor Mendel from Eric Power on Vimeo.

A lot of neat colors and textures in this animated look at the "father of genetics." A pioneering scientist who remains important, even as some miss the point of his work, or insist on finding implications that aren't really in it.

Congrats on finding this wonderfully made little video. It was a lucky thing that he published his results and luckier still they were rediscovered. The eugenics movement was wrong in every way.

I do love the silhouette effect in this animation, especially the way one is layered on top of the other. Sadly I don't think the aftereffects of the eugenics movement are gone from our midst. This is a lesson we have to keep relearning.
