Alarmist junk science. Pick any spot on this planet, dig into into it, and really analyze it and you’ll find new viruses.

Oh the humanity!

“Zhi-Ping Zhong
Postdoctoral Scholar

zhong.393@osu.edu

Areas of Expertise
Ice Core Paleoclimatology
Zhiping got his PhD in Microbiology in the Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, where he focused on microbial ecology and bacterial taxonomy. He is interested in isolating and identifying bacterial strains, exploring the uncultured microorganisms, and investigating the microbial community structure, function and dynamics in the environment. He joined BPCRC on August 1st 2016 to study microbial and viral ecology in the ice cores from selected depths deposited ~1,000 to ~1,000,000 years ago, which might help provide a window into how microbial life has changed over tens to hundreds of thousands of years.

Oh, GOODY!

Let's secretly slip some of them to some communist dictatorship's secret Bio-lab where they can be retro-engineered to KILL PEOPLE ALL OVER THE PLANET and we can claim it came from inelegant little Chinese ladies slurping away on bat soup!

Forgot to add that the “Doomsday Book” by Connie Willis covered this years ago. Old idea. Great book (even though Ms Willis is a monster raving loony liberal).
