Off to a great start! #breathless the scientific race to defeat a deadly virus by #davidquammen Marvellous read on the science of #COVID19, the scientific community scrambling to contain an outbreak, incredible public health response and more! Highly recommend! #SarsCoV2 #pandemic

"Quammen, 74, is the favorite science writer of many people who don’t usually read science writing. He also happens to be the favorite science writer of many science writers, a foundational figure. Among the kinds of people who cover anything from space telescopes to treatment-resistant bacteria, Quammen is a writer to geek out over."

Excellent article by #davidquammen. "Are we listening closely enough to hear what the [viral] chatter says? And are we prepared to act?"
Also, notable comment on anthropomorphism: It can be useful. #moa
