This book transforms thoseemotions and scientific realities into an engaging and accessible story for readersof all ages. Written by microbiologist and inventor R. Cuero, PhD, this imaginativebook combines storytelling and science to help readers better perceive the invisiblemicrobial world. Drawing from more than forty years of scientific research andeducational mentorship, the author presents important concepts such as viralmutants, bacteria, DNA, and RNA in an approachable manner. People are now moreopen to understanding the mysteries of the pandemic as well as the nature, behavior,and importance of the virus and its mutants. This version of the book presents moreinformation on the development of the viral mutants in relation to the pandemicand different environments, thus highlighting the viral mutants as the centralcharacters of the story.
