Meandering (among some Viruses and Insect Vectors) in Biological Etymology, with a Tribute to the Excellence of a Peer-reviewed Professional Journal: "Emerging Infectious Diseases", Volume 12, Number 8, August 2006, and its Managing Senior Editor, Polyxeni Potter, September 2006

These spiral bound writings were an ongoing effort by Dr. Poppensiek to continue to educate and inform youth and adults alike. The topics are mainly science related and were inspired by his own ideas of knowledge that he thought was important or by subjects and concepts that were relevant to what people close to him were currently learning about in school. While each item is themed they often cover a wide range of topics within a single volume. They contain many color graphics and photos and some contain cover letters placed inside.
