Invisible killers. An unsanitary butcher in Indonesia shakes hands with a tourist who sneezes in the airport and contaminates a traveler to New York who exposes a taxi driver who dooms the city to mortality en masse. Is this your view of viruses? It certainly is the view of the average person on the street (who won't want to shake your hand after you broach the topic of viruses). Perhaps your first thought was of a computer virus and a blue screen error. Viruses are bad, right?WRONG! Viruses can be extremely bio-awesome, if you give them a chance. They are a hot tool in biotech, and one that is under-appreciated.
