Hantavirus has reared its head,
but do not fear its reported spread.
The Noro is another beast.
Not much to do.
Just wash your hands
and brush your teeth.
Will Legionnaires be next?
In this cruise ship hall of fame?
And truly, who is to blame?
Certainly not you
Who buys your berths
and then complain
about the heat
as you dine on crab
and sleep like sardines.
We’ll definitely have thoughts here on
This Week in Science.

Your Cancer Gone

Carnivorous plants and wasps – strange bedfellows indeed

Iron Space Rain
How does Earth happen to have so much Iron-60, the kind that comes from big stellar explosions?
