How the flu does business: a science vignette from NPR

In case you didn’t know: I LOVE BIOLOGY!!  I may have turned in my lab coat in 2007, but there’s a part of me that is still incredibly fascinated by molecular biology. 

Courtesy of my beloved NPR, below is a great animated video on how the flu invades your body and spreads.  NPR’s Robert Krulwich and medical animator David Bolinsky are your visual guides in this viral journey.  Once you get past the amazingness of it, you will wonder how we aren’t all dead by now. 

Cheers to my friends who have gotten hit with the flu already this year (Texas was hit hard).

Now, it’s time to be in awe of science and do some pondering on the existence of life…
