According to Catherine Chalmers, there is nothing innocent about eating. In "The Food Chain" she acts as both an entomologist and a photographer, chronicling this most natural of processes alongside roaches, caterpillars, and other creepy-crawlies.

Nancy Burson
"We are all related, all connected, all one." Nancy Burson created "The Human Race Machine" when she learned that the DNA of any two humans is 99.97 percent identical. There is no gene for race.

Damien Hirst
Damien Hirst's artworks confront the tough stuff -- things like death and mortality -- immutable realities of life that science can't touch. EGG spends some time with Hirst in New York at his solo show "Theories, Models, Methods, Approaches, Assumptions, Results and Findings," and takes a close look at how Hirst's work faces these truths.
