The Atoms Bunch: The Innate Immune System

By Elizabeth H Bier

Set in the present day Bronx, the Atoms Bunch follows the Atoms family throughout their daily shenanigans, whether it be drama in friendships, love lives, or just the everyday wacky family tension.

Inspired by The Magic School Bus and TedEd, we explore the interdisciplinary nature of science. However, this time, we turn molecules not only into animated characters but into family.

The feeling of fear and wonder as Amy Atom is overcome with influenza A... the helpless dread that consumes Sammy the Selectin as he watches Glenda the Glycolipid no longer interested in binding with him... the climactic horror of Mr. and Mrs. Influenza A when met by Natural Killer Cell Inspecteur Casey and his "opsonization" weaponry ... the friendship and adventure of Matt the Macrophage and Tabitha the Cytokine. Hysterical, fun, and rooted in character, The Atoms Bunch is a love letter to Biology.
