I want one
Trent McBride at Catallarchy points us to THE cool gift for that biology nerd on your holiday gift giving list: Giant Plush Microbes. Who wouldn't want to cuddle up for a nap with a soft, loveable Ebola virus? What better friend to greet you after a hard day of work that our old friend athlete's foot fungus (Saccharomyces cerevisiae)? And is there any microbe more deserving of plush immortality than the mighty , yet humble, brewer's yeast (Trichophyton
mentagrophytes)?
