Cheating Death
Microscopic armies have waged war on humanity for thousands of years. The human species is in an escalating arms race with super-bugs and super-viruses: living organisms that attack our bodies, adapt to our treatments, evolve and fight back. Medicine is our great weapon to fight back against invisible, unthinkable death.
