Giant Plush Microbes

Tuesday, 24 January, 2006

Infectiously cute plush microbes (via Teresa).

Most folks never realize how cute microbes can be when expanded 1,000,000 times and then fashioned into cuddly plush. Until now, that is. Keep one on your desktop to remind yourself that there is an “invisible” universe out there filled with very small things that can do incredible damage to much bigger things. Then go and wash your hands. Lather, rinse, repeat.

See them by disease.

Aren’t they awesome! my pharmacist-in-training friend has the bad breath and foot bacteria ones. They’re soooo cute!! (but I think this is largely a consequence of the fact that the plush ones have eyes, whereas the real ones don’t….)
