The Seven Dwarfs' battle against malaria
In this short Disney film (The Winged Scourge, 1943), the Seven Dwarfs teach us how to protect ourselves from the mosquitoes that transmit malaria. But some of their methods may not be quite advisable today... Thanks to MicrobeWorld for letting me know about this video! A collection of old Disney documentaries (including this one) can be viewed at thelostdisney channel on YouTube. [Please follow the link on the title to read the complete post with images and links]

Will Twitter (or a similar tool) be of general use among scientists in a near future? Perhaps. As a new user, I know very little about Twitter. But interesting things are happening there. I...
