Hi All,

We have a wonderful exhibit that allows users to divide digital images of their faces along the midline and then recombine the face as two left or two right handed faces.  The differences are remarkable and semi-profound to experience.  The question of how and why we have inherent organismal asymmetry has long perplexed us.  Carl Zimmer takes a stab at explaining its recognition and origin.  It will hopefully add another dimension to your viewing experience.

From The New York Times:

Growing Left, Growing Right

Our bodies start out symmetrical, but then things start moving. How this happens (and how it can go wrong) is a rich field of study.
