Great article!
I've always been intrigued by artists whose work deals with nature (and science). They have to work so hard to avoid becoming out of date and corny.
I love that she is illuminating some of the myths about avian flu and it reminds me of a comment she made about her attitudes toward birds in 2004.
"I collect dead birds...extending Macbeth's cry 'there is prophecy in the fall of a sparrow' the autopsies I do are tender. If you come across any send them to me in a plastic bubble wrapped postal bag. Please mark where and how they were found."
It stuck me as strange and dark then, but now it haunts me.
