Newswise – In the event of a bird flu influenza pandemic, the world’s vaccine manufacturers will be in a race against time. But now researchers at the University of Wisconsin, working with scientists at the University of Tokyo, have discovered a quicker, more efficient way to make flu vaccine. As soon as an effective avian flu vaccine is created, drug companies will be able to replicate it in large quantities, so that we can all be immunized.

Human hands glow in the dark, and our fingernails produce the most light. In fact, most living things release light. If our eyes were sensitive enough, we would be able to see other people glowing in the dark. If we could see this light with our naked eyes (which we can’t), we might see that we leave a short-lived light trail of footprints wherever we go. Being able to follow this would be a wonderful forensic tool for chasing bad guys. Being able to “read” a person’s glow could also be an effective, non-invasive way to diagnose disease.

A gigantic dust storm has broken out on Mars during the opposition, when Mars is closer to the Earth than it has been since 2003. The storm is so large that it can be seen with a backyard telescope. Mars was 43 million miles from Earth at around 8:25 p.m. PST Saturday. UFO activity often increases during Mars oppositions, and this one has been no exception, as extensive UFO sightings have been reported over northern California and in the UK.

Robert Roy Britt and Tariq Malik report on the NASA website space.com that the dust storm, which was no more than a small bright dot Thursday, has blossomed into a large phone that can easily be seen from the Earth. At the same time, Wales is reporting numerous UFO sightings, just as California did last week.
