New York Doctor Raps about H1N1 Prevention

Earlier this summer, the US Health and Human Services Secretary, Kathleen Sebelius, challenged Americans to come up with short videos on the subject of good hygiene and prevention of the H1N1 flu virus.

The winner, New York doctor (and amateur rap artist) John Clarke, was presented $2500 and will star in a national ad campaign for H1N1 prevention.

I think 'Bagman' is my favourite.

A New Way to Access the Latest Flu Research - Plug In!

In a new venture, the Public Library of Science (or PLoS) has started a feature called 'PLoS Currents'. A clever play on both the flow of information and it's immediate relevance, 'Currents' allows researchers to post their most recent work on-line thereby stimulating scientific discourse as well as disseminating potentially useful information to both scientists and interested members of the general public.
The 'Currents' are moderated by a panel of experts from the relevant field to ensure the integrity of the work and general decorum in the resulting discussion.
In the first issue of 'PLoS Currents - Influenza', centre researchers led by Dr. Francois Balloux report their findings on the spatiotemporal dynamics evidenced in the early stages of the 2009 A/H1N1 influenza pandemic.
