Officials have not yet identified an infected tomato, and because of the fruit's short shelf life, they probably never will...
Jane says she became curious about vaccines after she took her first child for a series of vaccinations at four months old. "It felt like they were giving her four shots.

That's no bad thing, to judge from "Fantastical Mechanisms - Machines Tell Stories," the biggest exhibition of its kind in Europe since the '60s, on show at the dashingly futuristic Phaeno science center in Wolfsburg...
