Germs

B loves science. It is more of a hobby than a school subject. He woke up one morning and didn't feel well. He read about germs and became fascinated with a particular germ called T4 bacteriaphage. I cannot tell you anything about it, except that this is what it looks like. Apparently. It has been enlarged to show detail. :) B has discovered a lot of how this particular germ attaches to a cell, inserts itself into the cell and how it hijacks the nucleus of the cell by alterning the DNA and then exploding with a million more of these little buggars.
Funny the things this boy discovers on YouTube.
