You could wonder why I'd even watch a talk titled 'Zombie roaches and other parasite tales' . I recall liking Ed Yong in some other context...but then it's also true that anything on the fringe fascinates, right?
This journey into the micro level actually began for me with Bill Bryson in 'A short history of nearly everything'.....and pretty much changed my perspective to life. If standing by a beach and looking out into the sky can make you wonder at the enormity of the out there...... reading Bryson makes you see a whole new and vast world at the micro level.
Almost makes you see how what you are comes...... not from seeing yourself from the outside or relative to........but really as from within or maybe a part of. Forgive the abstract, but such spaces do blur the lines between philosophy and physical reality. Gives you wonder time......and wonder time can be one of those most wonderful things too :)
