This wonderful dress is part of an exhibit at the Ontario Science Centre<\/a>, entitled The Beauty of Stem Cells – Fashion Inspired by Stem Cell Research<\/em>. Unfortunately, I completely failed to photograph much else of it (or to be accurate, took a few other photos that can be charitably described as “crap”), but there were several other unusual pieces of clothing, and a series of rather nice photomicrographs by Craig Aarts and Radha Chaddah of the Stem Cell Network<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For those in the area, it’s on until October the first, 2011.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
