The 5 Most Horrifying Bugs in the World is an amusing round up of some scary-ass bugs:
They embed one video of a botfly being removed, but I remembered seeing this one, which gives a much better view of the removal process. They also somehow missed the grandaddy of all botfly stories. Needless to say, neither of those links are for the squeamish.
Hi. I'm Chris Miller. Professionally, I'm a graduate student in my fifth year of a Computational Biology PhD program, where I use large scale integration of genomic data to help understand the aetiology of cancer.
In my free time, I'm a techie, a Linux user, and I enjoy exploring the intersection of technology and culture. When not in front of a computer, you'll find me playing ultimate frisbee, jamming on my guitar, talking politics, or enjoying the great outdoors.
Since there are too many Chris Millers in this world, I added my middle initial to get this domain name. I long ago gave up the pretense of web anonymity that many people cling to. To me, this is the natural corollary of all that "be yourself" advice you got in grade school.
Also find me on:
