I can’t say that I’m progressing much in my thesis. But one thing is for sure – I’m still progressing. I can’t wait till I’m in the same hall with Joseph and the gang, graduating from this course. Sometimes I also want to see myself pushing forward with my PhD, but that’s another story altogether.
But this post isn’t about my sad thoughts, rather, about a game I felt it’s quite interesting as a Life Science researcher. My friend introduced to me a game called Plague Inc. by Ndemic Creations. At first, I thought it was some boring board game. But it turned out to be quite an interesting plot.

Basically, you’re a pathogen and you need to try and infect, and kill all the humans in the World. As irony as it seems, it does give me a different perspective; if pathogens ever had a way to think of strategies (to infect us), it would probably look similar to what I do during the game. You can also somewhat say it looks like a cartoonish pathogen simulator.

This game is in STEAM, so if you are interested, you can get it for S$15.00 (or cheaper during STEAM sales). Alternatively, you can try the game in Google Play Store for free (at least for some of the features). Hope you like the game, I’m still stuck at bacteria normal difficulty. Leave your comments in the comments section if you have good strategies. Thanks.
Infecting,
