Slide title: Life Science Connections

Slide words: How the eye sees: 512-electrode retinal readout system (under the neuroboard photo)

Predicting the structure of proteins: algorithms and parallel computation for understanding multi-body, multi-scale systems (under the protein image)

Slide images: photo of a "neuroboard," in the center of which a pinhead-size 512-electrode array records the output of retinal neurons (top left); photo of an eye (bottom left); computer image of a protein (right)
