'The secret life of a Coronavirus' is an essay by Carl Zimmer adapted from his book ‘Life’s Edge’. The full page illustration is featured on the cover of the NYTimes Sunday Review along with a supporting visual. The breathing animation of the key visuals echos a big question in the essay and asks: Are viruses Alive?
'There is more to us than just our brains' reviews the book 'The Extended Mind' by Annie Murphy Paul and digs into the power of thinking outside the brain.
