This weekend I read a book that irritated me so much I’ve decided to offer my services to spare other readers the same irritation.  In my other life I am a scientist.  Most books that have a science-related plot get close enough, but that one…I’m not even going to name it.  The story line was fine, but you cannot kill a deadly virus with antioxidants from someone’s spit…antioxidants, I might add that came from a diet that person stopped eating light years ago.  A simple fix to the plot would have been the bacteria found in her spit – it’s at least in the realm of possibility considering all we’re learning about the microbiome.  So, if you are an author and have a science question related to viruses, DNA, RNA, or protein, ask me.  I can at least tell you if it’s going to drive someone like me to post blogs like this.
