The most serious complication of the disease, which affects about 70,000 people worldwide, is the vicious cycle of chronic infection, inflammation and scarring in the lungs caused by defective chloride ion channels in the cell membrane.Metaphorically speaking, the planet is diseased too.

It speaks in a set of symptoms, signs that grow louder and clearer by the year.In Biome, you'll hear two stories that may not seem to have anything to do with each other. But be patient. I'll walk you through a story of DNA and destruction, of colonization and conservation, of the body and the biome.This piece was produced as part of The Senior Reflection in Biology.
