...virus in chicken eggs, then purify those bugs into a ready-to-inject formula safe for patients. "We are moving things around to accommodate this and getting our raw materials ready and having our scientists ready. We are on alert, waiting on the CDC. We're in daily contact with them," says Donna Cary, spokeswoman for Sanofi Pasteur, which currently makes 50 million doses of the seasonal flu vaccine used in the U.S. each year...
...hoping to pick off influenza viruses in the nasal passages before they get deeper into the body and infect other cells. At NanoBio Corporation, a biotech company in Michigan, scientists are perfecting a topical nasal spray that would destroy any single-celled particles, like viruses, bacteria or fungi, on contact, while leaving our multicelled tissues intact. (Blood cells would be fair game for the destructive emulsion, however, so the solution could not be injected into the body.) In animal studies, says Dr. James Baker, the company's chairman of the board, the spray protected 90% of mice from a lethal...
...Roberts’ talent. She has received numerous prestigious fellowships, won four awards for excellence in teaching undergraduates, and has published two books, with a third to be released next year. Katie A. Pfohl, a teaching fellow for Roberts’ HAA 17y : “American Encounters: Art, Contact, & Conflict 1560-1860” praises her, saying that “she teaches students to construct an interface between objects of history and culture in an incredibly evocative and dynamic way.” Robin E. Kelsey, the Loeb Professor of Humanities, has only glowing things...

It sorts all hits by distance from the user and displays relevant contact information for the selected establishment as well as maps of the surrounding area. Rover follows in the vein of similar iTunes applications at Duke and Stanford, but, according to co-creator Alexander G. Bick ’10, “Stanford and Duke have applications that are more focused...
...student work than men (6 hours). They also spend 10.9 hours a week on course preparation, compared to 9.1 weekly hours for men. While these "microdifferences" are not significant week to week, the report finds, over time they may add up to a "major inequity." Unfortunately, prioritizing student contact rarely leads to getting promoted. One respondent, a female professor at a public university, warned in the free-response portion of the survey of the pitfalls of getting too invested in service work. "You can get sucked totally into life-changing amounts of time," she wrote, "for which some of your...
