This? Is freaking awesome!
A medical researcher in Jacksonville, Florida has developed a new stitching technique that could possibly transform surgical procedures around the world. Perhaps the most fascinating detail is the researcher is a 14-year-old high school freshman.
And it doesn't sound like he's some kind of Doogie Houser, but just a freshman at a magnet school.
The other issue about the current swine flu is it is currently resistant to two of the main antiviral drugs. Happily it is not resistant to Tamiflu right now, but it could develop that resistance, or if it becpmes truly widespread, there could be a shortage of Tamiflu.

What I read said that the swine version of H1N1 is not resistant to Tamiflu or Relenza, but the *human* version of H1N1 *is* resistant to Tamiflu.
Confusing. I didn't even know there was a human version of it.
After reading (a) that the Baltimore Sun laid off most of its senior editors and (b) Kathy's fascinating link, I cannot help but note:
So far, the young man has only performed the surgery on dummies but has managed to fascinate the medical community enough to peak the interests of seasoned surgeons.
Pique! Not Peak! Aww, fuck it, who needs editors.

I'm right there with you. I think I snarled when I read "peak."
Yeah, add me to the snarling contingent.
I still remember the exact moment I realized that certain publishers had gotten rid of their proofreading departments--it was when I started seeing "it's" for "its" in multiple books by the same company.
see, people should mark up those books/papers in red and send them back to the publishers.
forget tea parties, we can have massive EDIT INS.
I saw some news footage of the National Guard in Ohio guarding the Tamiflu stock in "an undisclosed location."
Why does Dick Cheney need all that Tamiflu?
