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 (显微镜） 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.

On Tuesday,scientists announced that they have discovered the bones of four settlers in. Jamestown,Virginia,dating as far back as 1608. Jamestown was the first permanent English settlement in what became the United States. The bones were unearthed under the floor of a Jamestown church which was discovered in 2010 and is considered as America，s first Protestant church(新教教会).
The Jamestown Rediscovery Foundation at Historic Jamestowne and the Smithsonian's Museum of Natural History announced that the settlers held high leadership positions. The men,Rev.Robert Hunt,Capt. Gabriel Archer,Sir Ferdinando Wainman,and Capt. William West,all played a role in the Jamestown settlement.

"They lived and died at a hard time in the history of the settlement — when Jamestown almost ended in failure," Horn said. “The bones of these men help fill in the stories of their lives ”
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. They identified the men using historical records and studied the chemicals of the bones to learn what the men ate and where they came from.
