The Molecular Gymnastics of the Influenza Virus
Join us and learn more about the Swine Flu from an expert in protein structure. During this Café you will be able to manipulate models of the swine flu virus as you delve into the world of molecular biology and explore science as a process and not just a collection of facts.
Finally, Your Flu Questions Answered
Have your questions about the Swine Flu answered in plain language. Do you find the information presented in the media about the H1N1 flu confusing? Do you feel that you understand the facts? Do you know how to protect yourself and your family? Come and join us for an interactive discussion!
Come and talk it over in plain language!
