But I do a lot of public science writing as well: {book, BBC, Scientific American 1, Scientific American 2, etc.}.

I like


Do Zombies Dream of Undead Sheep.
Its a fun way for a lay or intro level person to learn about the brain and how it might go wrong.

Btw have you heard of the neuroscientist Bradley Voytek? He does really great research, not including his book Do Zombies Dream of Undead Sheep? A Neuroscientific View of the Zombie Brain. I think it's a little less on the virus side, and more about zombie...you know...brains.
