Hovering any of the smaller circles will give information on a particular subject e.g. genomics or Immunology.
Click on these smaller circles to go to a list or articles on that particular subject.
The larger circles can direct you to more broad ideas, like clinical research or health research/social science.
Generally, the larger the circle, the more broad and less specific the topic.

 

When hovering over one of the smaller circles, the topic of the circle is displayed.

 

Clicking on the ‘site’ icon above the large circle will direct you to another different visual search with even more results and options.
