How do you avoid procrastination ?

Oh.So this is how viruses are stored.Never realized what we learnt back in school can be used to store viruses.

I always thought there was some kind of highly sophisticated material involved to store viruses costing billions of dollars like fabrication facilities used for making semiconductor ICs.

You must be lucky , enjoying your job.

Oh. No wonder 90 minute movies make the facility de - contamination look as if it's just few seconds process.

Last question, I've heard that a sample of small pox virus (apparently the last surviving small pox virus on planet) is stored somewhere in some laboratory in United States. Now I don't want to know the specifics as to where it is stored, but storing a virus (like a virus archive library),is it possible? How do you store viruses?

Thank you.By the way are you supposed to abstain from any kind of food items that might endanger your life while working in the lab ?

And another thing , what if you succumb to a test virus in the lab ? Do you have a quarantine room ?

Lastly , how are BSL-4 labs different from those portrayed in Hollywood movies ?

Can normal people visit a BSL-4 facility ? I mean like an industrial visit ?
