Lovande svensk medicin mot AIDS
New Swedish AIDS Vaccine May Be More Effective Than the Thai AIDS Vaccine
"Swedish researchers announced today that preliminary trials of a new AIDS vaccine have yielded highly promising results and may be more effective than the Thai vaccine that made headlines last month. "We hope that our vaccine could increase protection to 50 percent," said Professor Britta Wahren of the Karolinska Institute. The Thai vaccine was found to be 31 percent effective.[...] Scientists are particularly hopeful about this vaccine because the preliminary results are the strongest of any early stage AIDS vaccine trial. "It is the best preliminary result I know of for a vaccine of this type. The Swedish researchers seem to be on the right path," said Manuel Romaris, the chief scientific officer for AIDS research at the European Commission."

Modelling the brain
A truly humbling presentation of the project of understanding the human brain - and constructing a supercomputer to model it.
The implications of the project are huge in so many ways. What happens when it is possible to model the brain, and everybody can tap into virtually infinite computing power at all times in the cloud - where everybody's virtual brain will be hosted next to each other, communicating super-effective/efficient with one another.
