Mill-er Time

Graham Mills has a lot to put up with. He's a man with a huge amount of knowledge to share with the community, and along we come and just stare and joke about the whole time.

Graham Mills

Graham Mills has been on Kitely for a couple of years now, previously his builds were located on New World Grid. He likes the stability of Kitely and the opportunity it gives him to turn into 3d models all manner of science - related builds that astound and delight for their intricacy, beauty and the lessons they teach.

Every time I see one of Graham's builds it's even bigger, better, Mill-er than the last, and always making science more approachable. The guy works hard to get the message across!

The installation is sleek and fuss free, so as you might expect, coming into Kitely even in a big group offered no problems at all.

This is a unique way to represent information about how our bodies work, and how it defends itself...

... by laying it all out in a walkable park, with lost of signs but even more brightly colored elements.

No seats? No problem. A rail will do.

It doesn't exactly dumb down the subject matter, so much as make you feel the beauty of it all, and the thrill that scientists and researchers must feel when they finally come to an understanding of some of these inner mysteries.

The subject here is an unlikely one for beauty or joy, you might think - it's all about Tuberculosis, how it attacks the body, how it spreads, how medicines and the body's immune system can hopefully stave it off. I'm not sure just how much of an immune system lifted pixel has, but i've heard she has an iron constitution. Or should that be blue steel?
