Jeff Heibein is an award winning editor and animator. Though not mad, he was for a time an actual scientist and for many years studied cells of the immune system.

But when blended in a digital test tube and fortified with electricity, the pixels combine into a frothy visual admixture of communicative goodness.

It’s possible you may glean an additional abundance of boring facts about Jeff from his LinkedIn page but he really doesn’t recommend it.
