Meet John, the Kinesin motor-protein

When I was lying around the house all day recovering from chemo, I watched a lot of interesting YT videos on microbiology and cell biology and kind of fell in love with kinesins, those intrepid and fearless little motor proteins marching stoically back and forth across their microtubule highways, towing their outsize dirigbles of proteins and cell nutrients along, giving their all so that you can have healthy cells, no matter what kind of crap you've put your body through. They're steadfast, if somewhat goofy-looking, friends.
