...PNAS study undermines that hope. The key difference in this study was the presence of a single gene from the H3N2 human virus: the PB2 protein, which gave the hybrid viruses the ability to spread easily among the lab mice. Scientists think the protein may allow hybrid viruses to grow more efficiently in the lower temperatures of the upper respiratory tract, from which the virus can more easily spread to others. (The H5N1 virus tends to infect the lower respiratory tract in humans, where it can't easily get out and spread...
...From what I can recall, it was TIME, among many other media outlets, that promoted Obama as a saviour. Poor man!

Located in Education City, a gleaming new complex under construction on the outskirts of the capital, his school is one of six American universities that have set up shop in the country over the past few years. Thanks to the deep pockets of the Qatari government, Lamb has more space in the college...
...then there's Abu Dhabi, capital of the United Arab Emirates. Dubai's staid big brother has re-exerted political and financial control over its profligate sibling, mostly because it has an interest in Dubai's success. Dubai's port and airport are among the largest in the world, and serve the UAE's economic needs without Abu Dhabi - a 45-minute drive away - having to expand its own infrastructure...
