Waltz of the Polypeptides, a sculpture by Mara G. Haseltine located on the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory campus, depicts a ribosome caught in the act of producing the BLyS protein, which stimulates the body’s infection-fighting antibodies. In providing a glimpse at the birth of a single protein, this sculpture—like the institution that owns it—offers fascinating windows to the world of biology and beyond.
