Of Mice and Men -- and Elephants

["Dukelow, James S Jr" <jim.dukelow@pnl.gov>]

All this talk of body mass and low dose radiation and mice and men and elephants
suggests the naive question:

How does the number of cells, the size of the cells, and the fraction of body
mass comprised of DNA compare for mice, men, and elephants?

Best regards.
