One of my ALL TIME Top 5 favorites. In the mid 90’s, I fell in love authors like, #michaelcrichton and #RichardPreston. I was kind of a science geek - kinda. . #JurassicPark was a great work of fiction, while “The Hot Zone” was far more terrifying, because it was non-fiction. . Even IF “The Hot Zone” had embellishments, or it clearly showed how we continued to play with fire - the perfect example of human arrogance and disrespect. Showing courtesy, humility, and respect for something far greater than ourselves - seems to be a tough sell. . So, what does courtesy, respect and humility have to do with a book about a virus? If you don’t know - you’re part of the problem. . Let’s think about one aspect of #humankind. Let’s use a distinctively human ability, which distinguishes us from most wild and savage animals. It’s our ability to think through and resolve the unknowns from seemingly unrelated puzzle pieces - our distinctively human ability called #CriticalThinking. . Use that and something called #commonsense, and you’ll be alright. . #no #itsnotaporn #nerdlife #ilovethisbook #manvsnature #embracethenerd #nerdingislife #doyouwantavirus #thisishowyougetavirus #science #nonfiction #nonfictionbooks #spreadlegsnotviruses #corona #quarantine2020 #quarantine #2020suckscoronaballs #SocialDistanceYourBalls #socialdistancing2020 #sobored #BingeWatchedAWholeLife (at Your Mom's House) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-J8263JA3u/?igshid=1ptxnazeq43u2

Finished! The Hot Zone reads like a horror novel, but it is non-fiction. The science concerning the Ebola virus & what it does to cells is easy to understand & peppered into the narrative surrounding an emergency event that occurred near Washington D.C. #nofilter #noedit #book #books #bookstagram #reader #reading #bookworm #literature #nonfiction #thehotzone #richardpreston https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz_QQNRBxSN/?igshid=198o5kr47kji2

This blog is a part of my high school genetics project based upon our research and findings on the Ebola virus. This research began while we read The Hot Zone by Richard Preston, detailing the discovery of the Ebola virus and several accounts of contact made with the virus after its discovery. This includes different strains of the virus, as there are many variations, including some that are not capable of taking a human host, such as the Reston strain. I will be using this blog as a way to inform the general population on the facts that we have on Ebola with my hope being to spread awareness rather than fear of the virus. That being said, The Hot Zone does have some rather freighting depictions of the effects of the virus, but I believe it is a great way to begin research on the topic, as the accounts are more accessible and are presented in a way that is more gripping to the general public than scientific research papers may be.  It is important to note the time frame of the novel as well, as it is set around the time of discovery of the virus and throughout the late 80’s. This is why the virus is presented in such a way, as we had much less information about it than we do now. However, that does not necessarily mean we have all the information, as several organizations are still working toward gathering further information about the virus, but we know much more now than we did back then.  Throughout my posts, I will be detailing what we know about the Ebola virus and the work being done involving treatment and possible cures, using information found on reliable websites that I will provide sources for in case the readers of this blog would like to continue research. As a final note, I would like to state that the Ebola virus while dangerous, does not have to be something that we think of as a world ending epidemic, rather as a problem that can be solved by working together to find a solution to our struggle.

These are all the Michael Crichton books I have and I've read almost all of them! I've only not read three, Micro, The Great Train Robbery, and Rising Sun. My favorites are probably Next, Eaters of the Dead, and Pirate Latitudes. #grimdragon #ilovecrackingspines #michaelcrichton #eatersofthedead #micro #richardpreston #stateoffear #theterminalman #thegreattrainrobbery #risingsun #next #piratelatitudes

I'm back! It's dark out there now and I wouldn't want to run into any spiderwebs or creepy crawlies. I have no problem with them in daylight but during the night, when you can't see where they are going and it's just that lingering feeling they leave on your skin.... Yeah... Anyways, good to be back, what did I miss? 😅 #grimdragon #micro #michaelcrichton #richardpreston
