By far, the most interesting science article I've read in the past year or two

Seemed fine to me smiley

I'm not sure how medically useful seeing just under the skin is though. My first thought was that it could be useful for making an optical data link to an implanted device. So you could strap on an inductive power pad to power the device through any regular patch of skin, put some solution over its optical data port to let light through and strap on the other side of the optical link. Faster and more secure than a radio link.

I had to zoom out to X out of one of the pop-ups myself. Rather annoying.

Too bad. Convinced me to not open the link

Not as horrifying as I thought it would be.

Seems like a cool and somewhat useful idea.

As a biology person, I expected to see a rodent treated with TritonX detergent, glycerol, and urea to make the tissue transparent.  We had fun with that in college.
