some viral stories

Quite Covid-heavy this round-up of German pieces, with the variants covered in December (just before the issue exploded) and the vaccines in February (see the cover below), as well as a tongue-in-cheek appreciation of the dog-led diagnostics. Other topics available include soil biodiversity, ammonia emissions from human skin, and protein crystals found inside the glass needles of marine sponges.

The Covid stories are on open access, and some of the others appear to be too, not sure why.
