There's a new microbe, I just discovered it.

Now, what you do is, you get inside the microbe, you change its metabolic pathways, and you end up with a living chemical factory.

Some recent discoveries There's an ant colony from Argentina that has now spread to every continent but Antarctica there's a self directed robot scientist that's made a discovery soon, science may no longer need us, and life may no longer need us either a microbe wakes up after 120,000 years.

Mexico s current quandary is the flu, but it faces more important challenges than a mutating microbe. With more than 40 million people living in poverty and 7,000 killed in drug related violence last year, Mexico will need to reform quickly to address what the virus has brought to light a government far removed from the suffering of ordinary people and too frequently insensitive to their plight.
