How do you think those cute and furry giantmicrobes might be educational?

I don't think they would make me wash my hands to get rid of germs, because they're mildly endearing rather than scary. (If I was young and impressionable and not great with personal hygiene, that is).

Are they supposed to be scaremongering, if fear of disease is a good thing?

the cute & furry microbes come with free samples in industrial quantities maybe? Buy "Ebola the virus" today and get a free dose of haemorrhagic fever? ;-)

Thank you Hypothesis, you've reminded me why I like this forum!(up)

Any other educational suggestions would be welcome, of course, black or otherwise

I find actual microbes endearing.... :$

I like those giant fluffy microbes.. But maybe it's cos i am a microbiologist!!

Nothing to be embarrassed about Verypoor, it's endearing that you find them endearing, actually! What do you like best about them, out of interest? What would you say were their most endearing characteristics, to a microbe novice like me?

how about fluffy microbiology :-)
