One vaccine may provide broad protection against many respiratory infections and allergens (8 minute read)
Researchers have developed a universal vaccine formula that protects against a wide range of respiratory viruses, bacteria, and even allergens. The vaccine is delivered intranasally, and it provides broad protection in the lungs for several months. It works by mimicking the signals that immune cells use to communicate with each other during an infection. The vaccine has only been tested in mice, but researchers estimate, in the best-case scenario, that it might be available in five to seven years. |

Why the ATM didn't kill bank teller jobs, but the iPhone did (25 minute read)
ATMs were predicted to increase bank teller unemployment, but they didn't. However, the number of bank tellers started to fall after the birth of the iPhone. When a technology automates what a human does within an existing paradigm, it rarely gets rid of the human, as the definition of the paradigm creates the need for human involvement. The iPhone created a new paradigm that made the tasks that the ATM substituted irrelevant. |
