Epidemiologists are often described by the media as "disease detectives," who use statistical tools - carrying out the occasional survey, for example, or, in the case of malaria, using temperature and terrain maps to help predict where disease-carrying mosquitoes may live - to hunt down and eliminate global killers.

"It craves thrills, action, it wants to keep thriving, it will do anything to live on.") It's the old Romantic lie of mania, that it represents a heightened version of the self, a genius too great to be comprehensible.
