This is a good way to use something bad for good. The article was written well. They first explained the people and what they were doing and then explained what a virus was for kids who didn't know what a virus was. It's cool how they can change the genetic recipe so that the virus attracts metal. The new batteries would probably would be easier to make compared to regular batteries.
I am extremely disappointed in Emma for posting this blog. This article was for science last week. Anyways, I'll say what I would have said otherwise. I thought it was interesting how they could create such a small battery; but even though cell phones/ iPhones are getting smaller every year, they will never reach such a small size. You could also say that this could apply to science. I think that because, like in the resistance fighter video, the penicillin attacked cell walls, so why can't we make antibiotics be attracted to metal? This could be a serious advantage so that the eubacteria could not counterattack on the cell wall and would have to find different strategies for attack. This could boost antibiotics and the research in this field dramatically.
i think its great how there able to convert a virus (useless and only are bad toward us)can be converted into something that could help us and advance society
I disagree with Noah, and agree with Noah, I agree that we should try to make antibiotics attracted to metal, and I disagree that he was disappointed in Emma. I thought that this article was AWESOME!
I thought the article was great. Noah is being a little bit harsh. This was really good. The author explained everything really well. It is really cool how the virus attach the left over metal to its body.
