Art is everywhere — from the 18-month-old baby who spreads food all over some paper to famous artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. Today,a new artist from Great Britain is making headlines with his glass art. This glass art,beautifiil as it may be,is a bit different.
The sculptor,Luke Jerram,has spent years learning about deadly viruses such as HIV,smallpox,and the H1N1 virus. For over five years,he has studied these tiny killers and is now having them blown in glass. The response to this new art form has been amazing. Beautifully put in milky glass,the viruses shine like crystal(水晶) on mirrored surfaces.These good-looking viruses are actually the greatest killers in human history.
Jerram became interested in the viruses after being introduced to these deadly subjects on TV and in a variety of magazine articles. His discovery path was interesting. He learned viruses are so small that even microscopes (顯微鏡) cannot make out all of their details. He noticed that if he made these viruses one million times bigger^eople could better appreciate them.
Jerram wants people to see these little viruses and better understand the influence they have on human beings. For something so small to kill so many people each year is truly difficult to imagine,Jerram wants us to think about that. During his research,Jerram finds out that even scientists do not fully understand many aspects (方面) of viruses and how they work. He hopes we can find out the answers to many of these questions. He hopes his artwork will help people learn more about these enemies. More importantly,he hopes to inspire future scientists who may be the ones to find cures for these deadly viruses.

The Smithsonian and the Rediscovery Foundation fouund the remains in November of 2013. Scientists used 3-D technology to locate the exact gravesites of the men. The team wanted to identify its findings before announcing the discovery.
