How We Made Biology Glow—and why we never looked back
From jellyfish to lab benches, green fluorescent protein (GFP) turned an accidental discovery into a revolutionary tool. By making cells, organisms, and even parasites glow, GFP lets scientists watch biology in real time, revealing gene expression, development, and disease like never before. A testament to curiosity-driven science and the power of seeing life in a whole new light.
