Here’s a talk that Richard Preston gave recently, talking about his latest book “Panic in Level 4: Tales of Intrigue from the World of Science.” Most of the talk is devoted to his own experience donning a spacesuit and going into an ebola “hot zone” in a laboratory. I won’t give the story away but it’s a good one and one he says isn’t in the book. The talk is short - about 30 minutes - perfect for checking out on a weekend.
