THE CELL from SELF-PORTRAITS AT THE HEALTH MUSEUM
Every misconception, foolish wish, and memory of the sea begins here, inside a membrane- bound sac of cytoplasm, where endoplasmic reticulum forms channels studded with beads. The nucleus, round and yellow as a grapefruit on the display, is filled with helical DNA encoding all the faults I got from my parents - insomnia, fear of water and elevators, obsession with details, vanity. Mitochondria spew out ATP as proteins grow and fold, following orders from RNA. This is the machinery of the soul, where love arises as a series of electrical signals mediated by ions traversing the membrane, and sometimes small epiphanies break free.
Berklee’s poetry Walk was laid in October 2003 along Edison Street between Shattuck and Milvia Streets. The route includes 128 metal plates with excerpts from songs, each of which is related in one way or another to the city of Berkeley.
The current plaque features a poem by the poet, writer and scientist, Lucille Lang Day (1947). Day earned all of her academic degrees (including a doctorate) from the University of Berkeley. In the current song you can see her involvement in science, in the song many scientific facts about the structure of the cell are presented.
