If we do not begin to love one another and to treat each other fairly, who knows what could happen in our lives to get our attention? For those who read this, you may find yourselves in one of these chapters. We must do better. We cannot ignore what has happened.

"Mientras escribo esto, a lo largo del año 2015, los científicos intentan adelantarse a las próximas pandemias.

Contamos con recursos para contrarrestar la expansión de la gripe, como lavarnos las manos. Y los científicos están aprendiendo a fabricar vacunas más efectivas. Al menos, ya no tenemos que mirar hacia las estrellas en busca de protección." — Carl Zimmer
