Evolution of Pathogens... not on his watch.

The future of Sci-Fi Horror films... as long as the reality of these bio-killers don't take us out first. The world is scary:

First off, the doc following the hunters in this article, Dr. Nathan Wolfe, this guy has a great name. And I'm thinking that it maybe a name a little to edgy and epic for a 'researcher'. But then I find out he's not just another lab coat juggling test-tubes, this guy is the Jack Bauer of the 'viral chatter world'... sweet.













Second on the docket: the transmission of Monkeypox to the US. Who is importing African Rodents as pets?!?! Are you kidding me, it's bad enough that rodents are migrating from Africa to the Americas, but they don't even need to put together any sort of crazy Madagascar movie hair-brained plot to invade us, people are actually taking care to bringing them over (via leash?).

And finally 'Deadly Zoonotic Viruses lurking in the forest' does not sound good, not at all. Dr. Nathan Wolfe, protector of the innocent, Viral Superhero, the Mitch Rapp of the viral underground, is a new favorite of mine. Big fan right here...







Anyone who didn't already know: Yes, Science is this Cool!
