My Mighty Biology
厲害了, 我的生物
Overview
My son was my “laboratory mouse”!
When smallpox threatened the world, people tried everything to fight it and Dr. Edward Jenner was one of them. He discovered that people who had cowpox wouldn’t get smallpox! He needed more cases to prove it so he needed a few “laboratory mice” (in this case it’s human)…. And he even made his son to be one of the “mice”!
Save the country! Could the lack of wine destroy a country?
In France, wine making was a very important industry. However, it was so hard to maintain the quality of wine. Wine turned sour easily and this caused a big loss to the wine producers. Microbiologist Louis Pasteur decided to help them. He discovered lactic acid bacteria, which made the wine become sour. His study not only saved the wine producers but also explored contemporary microbiology studies.
Combining humorous memes and popular slangs from the internet, the authors turned boring and tedious bioscience history and knowledge into interesting stories that are easy to understand. After reading this book, I really wished that my biology teacher taught me like the authors did!
