For parents out there trying to explain what germs are, here’s a microbiology eBook for kids I wrote 6 years ago that may help. Amongst all the negativity about germs right now, it explains mostly they’re good for us, and we all need some positivity now!https://t.co/sRxY4uIaCc

1/ I may be repeating myself, but I want to fight this sense of security that I see outside of the epicenters, as if nothing was going to happen "here". The media in Europe are reassuring, politicians are reassuring, while there's little to be reassured of. #COVID19 #coronavirus
