There are graphics that show atomic features and others that don't. Notice the representation of protein next to the quantum dot. In one I see atoms (and the structure for the quantum dot is all wrong). For the protein it is some kind of odd ribbon like representation. So to the intelligensia we overlook these, to the less advised.....well Well unfortunately while it is slick and comprehensive in range it fails victim to the trap of not paying attention to details.

I suggest that anything which provokes thought is a good thing, it is incumbent on us to makle sure any errors are corrected.
