No idea, sorry.

> favorite books on how things work at that scale

I've found the bionumbers database[1] very helpful. Google scholar and sci-hub for primary and secondary literature. But books... I'd welcome suggestions. I'm afraid I mostly look at related books to be inspired by things taught badly.

The bionumbers folks did a "Cell Biology by the Numbers" book... the draft is online[2].

Ha, they've done a Covid-19 by the numbers flyer[3].

If you ever encounter something nice -- paper, video, text, or whatever, or even discussion of what that might look like -- I'd love to hear of it. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Thanks! I guess I'll try the bionumbers book first.

I'll keep you in mind, too.
