Reflect
on the artwork we have created based on the shapes and forms of different
microbes. Read the quote from our new book “Hot Zone” and complete one of the
levels listed below.
“Nine
out of ten humans killed? And you're not bothered."
A look
of mysterious thoughtfulness crossed his face. "A virus can be useful to a
species by thinning it out," he said.
A scream
cut the air. It sounded nonhuman.
He took
his eyes off the water and looked around. "Hear that pheasant? That's what
I like about the Bighorn River," he said.
"Do
you find viruses beautiful?"
"Oh,
yeah," he said softly. "Isn't it true that if you stare into the eyes
of a cobra, the fear has another side to it? The fear is lessened as you begin
to see the essence of the beauty. Looking at Ebola under an electron microscope
is like looking at a gorgeously wrought ice castle. The thing is so cold. So
totally pure." -Richard Preston
