I dont think we have a general thread for new science stories.
Let me start...
It seems as if scientists have found a long dormant virus has resurfaced after 30,000 years being frozen in Siberia. Fears are that other more deadly viruses could also re-emerge by process of global warming.
Makes you wonder just what would happen say if small pox was re-introduced nowadays, and whether we can truly eradicate such viruses or simply put them off for a new generation to deal with?
