Check out this youtube on osmosis. This would actually be cool to try at home (not dangerous, no explosions!). Thanks to Karen (who will get 2 points extra credit for submitting something I use on the Blog, hint, hint, on Ex. #1). Comment any ideas about how you might adapt or revise this--what else could you try? I'm thinking, what would happen if you used colored water? What do you think?

Hanta, the plague, and west nile, oh my!
This summer has been an especially interesting time for unusual infectious diseases. I'm sure you have heard of some of this, but here are 3 short articles about cases by three microbes--hanta virus, plague bacteria, and the west nile virus. Check out the links and comment about what you think about these. Imagine yourself in your future as a health care provider. Maybe you will be the one to make the connection between the victim and the disease that you remembered back from your micro class!
Bubonic plague
Hanta virus
West Nile virus
