Why would a biochemist make three-dimensional prints of budding yeast cells? [Blogger's note: See the link below for the accompanying video.]

D. Allan Drummond, assistant professor of biochemistry, molecular biology and human genetics from the University of Chicago's The Drummond Lab 3D printed this model of a yeast cell dividing in solid bronze: "Late-anaphase budding yeast, mother & daughter."
