For the online adaptation, we at Link Studio began by considering how to emulate the in-person experience, communicate complex exhibition content effectively, and capitalize on the lack of physical constraints to enhance the virtual experience of the exhibition. Bringing these artifacts and stories online instantly opens the reach to millions of visitors, so we wanted to make the exhibition engaging and meaningful for many different audiences.<\/p>\n<p>Our vision starts when visitors first arrive at the homepage of the site. They are introduced to the main stories or themes of the exhibition though textual description and captivating images. We rotate the themes automatically so that visitors have a preview of what they can explore. They are free to move about in a non-linear fashion. The home page also highlights other features that are only available online. These include <a title=\"NLM's From DNA to Beer exhibition\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nlm.nih.gov\/exhibition\/fromdnatobeer\/education\/index.html?data-nav=OnlineActivities\">educational interactives<\/a>, <a title=\"NLM's From DNA to Beer exhibition\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nlm.nih.gov\/exhibition\/fromdnatobeer\/digitalgallery\/index.html\">a selection of digitized items from the NLM’s collection<\/a>, and <a title=\"NLM's From DNA to Beer exhibition\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nlm.nih.gov\/hmd\/about\/exhibition\/fromdnatobeer-bookinfo.html\">the traveling exhibition booking service<\/a>.

We call upon the ability of the medium to connect related types of information and promote further exploration.<\/p>\n<p>What was particularly unique about this online exhibition was the opportunity we saw to teach the science behind the stories. While understanding that the <a title=\"NLM's From DNA to Beer exhibition\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nlm.nih.gov\/exhibition\/fromdnatobeer\/exhibition-interactive\/recombinant-DNA\/recombinant-dna-technology.html\">technique of recombinant DNA<\/a> is used in the development of insulin and growth hormone, we found ourselves asking whether everyone knows what the process of recombinant DNA actually is. Or what the process of <a title=\"NLM's From DNA to Beer exhibition\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nlm.nih.gov\/exhibition\/fromdnatobeer\/exhibition-interactive\/fermentation\/fermentation.html\">fermentation<\/a> is. Or how <a title=\"NLM's From DNA to Beer exhibition\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nlm.nih.gov\/exhibition\/fromdnatobeer\/exhibition-interactive\/illustrations\/diphtheria-alternative.html\">diphtheria antitoxin<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nlm.nih.gov\/exhibition\/fromdnatobeer\/exhibition-interactive\/illustrations\/penicillin-alternative.html\">penicillin<\/a> are made. With our 19 plus years of experience in biomedical illustration and animation, Link Studio was able to illuminate the science behind these processes through custom HTML5 animations and illustrations. We believe that educating the public about the science behind the stories enables a deeper appreciation of the role these technologies play in our daily lives.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"840\" data-carousel-extra='{"blog_id":1,"permalink":"https:\\\/\\\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\\\/2014\\\/12\\\/09\\\/partners-in-illuminating-science\\\/","likes_blog_id":"52242398"}' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 840px;

Scientists grow diphtheria-causing bacteria in the laboratory and harvest its toxin.<\/p> <p>2. Next, researchers inject horses with the diphtheria toxin. As an immune response, the animal’s blood produces diphtheria antitoxin.<\/p> <p>3. Scientists collect blood from the horses and separate out the antitoxin rich serum.<\/p> <p>4. Then, researchers purify the antitoxin serum for use as a medicine for people.<\/p> \" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/exhibition-diphtheria-lg.jpg?fit=300%2C213&ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/exhibition-diphtheria-lg.jpg?fit=840%2C597&ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/exhibition-diphtheria-lg.jpg?w=836&h=594&ssl=1\" width=\"836\" height=\"594\" loading=\"lazy\" data-original-width=\"836\" data-original-height=\"594\" itemprop=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/image\" title=\"How did they make Diphtheria antitoxin?\" alt=\"Illustration of how Diphtheria antitoxin.\" style=\"width: 836px; height: 594px;\" \/> <\/a> <div class=\"tiled-gallery-caption\" itemprop=\"caption description\"> How did they make Diphtheria antitoxin? from NLM’s exhibition From DNA to Beer: Harnessing Nature in Medicine and Industry <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <!-- close group --> <\/div> <!-- close row --> <\/div>\n<p>In addition to <em><a title=\"NLM's From DNA to Beer exhibition\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nlm.nih.gov\/exhibition\/fromdnatobeer\/index.html\">From DNA to Beer<\/a> <\/em>online, we\u2019ve developed other sites for NLM exhibitions, including <em><a title=\"NLM's Pictures of Nursing Exhibition\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nlm.nih.gov\/exhibition\/picturesofnursing\/index.html\">Pictures of Nursing: The Zwerdling Postcard Collection<\/a>, <a title=\"NLM's Pick Your Poison exhibition\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nlm.nih.gov\/exhibition\/pickyourpoison\/index.html\">Pick Your Poison: Intoxicating Pleasures & Medical Prescriptions<\/a>, <\/em>and<em> <a title=\"NLM's Surviving and Thriving Exhibition\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nlm.nih.gov\/exhibition\/surviving-and-thriving\/index.html\">Surviving & Thriving: AIDS, Politics, and Culture<\/a><\/em>.
