That CAN'T be true! / Was the swine flu virus engineered?

How does that happen without some direct manipulation?

Ask Darwin if he was still alive []

Quote: "The six genes from American swine flu are themselves mixtures of swine flu, bird flu, and human flu viruses."

What do you think?

I think: What happened to the 7th and 8th gene?

That CAN'T be true! / How did a worm get inside an egg?

The "worm" could be a chicken parasite.
It's possible it entered the egg in its development stage, before it had a shell.

Hi all,

My name is Niels, and i'm an enthousiastic scientist like most people here i guess.

I'm 26 years old and live in Ghent, the most beautiful city of Belgium  []

I have an MD of Science in the field of Biotechnology, but all kinds of science interest me a lot.

I hope I'll have lots of fun here, and don't make a fool of myself more than once a week  []

Hi all,
I'm a passionate scientist as most of you guys here.
My field is Biotechnology, but my interests are all round.

I thought I'd share this picture with you guys: The Sun ain't all that big!
