Virology - Exploring Microbes...

Kevin Thorley

Virology is the scientific study of viruses, their structure, function, and impact on living organisms. Viruses are unique entities, existing at the boundary between life and non-life, requiring host cells to reproduce. This field covers the classification of viruses, their methods of replication, and the various ways they interact with hosts, often causing diseases. Understanding virology is crucial for studying infectious diseases like influenza, HIV, and COVID-19, as well as for developing antiviral therapies and vaccines. This chapter sets the foundation for exploring how viruses shape both health and the environment. 
  
Definition and Scope of Virology 
Virology is the branch of science that deals with the study of viruses and virus-like agents, including their structure, classification, genetics, and interaction with host organisms. As microscopic entities that straddle the line between living and non-living, viruses are unique. They are unable to carry out metabolic processes on their own, and must infect a host cell to replicate. This dependence on living organisms is what makes them distinct from other pathogens, such as bacteria and fungi. Despite their simple structure—typically comprising genetic material (DNA or RNA) encased in a protein coat—viruses have a profound impact on all forms of life, from humans to plants and animals.

No Country for Old Age -...

Mischa Honeck

Since the birth of their nation, Americans have acted on the belief that theirs was a land of youth, a place destined to offer a fresh start to an aging world. No Country for Old Age tells this story from the founding period to our present moment, but not without exposing its darker side: rejuvenation has often bred grand expectations that end in division and despair. 
 
 
 
Mischa Honeck reveals how Americans of diverse backgrounds have sought not only to feel and look younger but also to breathe new life into their communities. Whether marching under the banners of science, public health, sexual liberation, physical fitness, nation-building, or world peace, these youth seekers have tended to paint their ventures in utopian colors. However, from the founders to today's Silicon Valley elites, anti-aging ventures have repeatedly magnified social inequalities, often projecting visions of society that have been unmistakably classist, racist, misogynist, and ageist. Today we are experiencing rejuvenation's Janus-faced legacy: As transhumanists rhapsodize about cyber-enhancing human bodies, ghastly pandemics, old-age poverty, and shrinking life expectancies are poised to become the new normal for many twenty-first-century Americans.
