Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.What interests Wolfe is microbes – those invisible organisms that cover every surface of the earth and can cause greater catastrophe than a Tsunami in the form of viral pandemics.
We learn how some viruses are programmed to spread, others to kill, and a third and deadliest variety determined to do both. Wolfe's message is both that we are more vulnerable to pandemics in the modern world and that technology is better able to detect them.
Who knew that these tiny entities could make for such exciting reading?
