According to the Associated Press, scientists have discovered a new strain of the bird flu virus H5N1 that has been causing such havoc in Indonesia and China. Unfortunately, this strain is immune to the vaccines that were being developed for the original strain of H5N1. Confused? No need to be. Why not visit our very own Michael Greger's brand new website for his brand new book, Bird Flu?

For those of you too cheap to buy the damn book, you can now read it in its entirety online, follow the latest developments, and catch up on Michael's speaking schedule. It's all at www.birdflubook.com. The site was developed by our web department, LanternMedia, and we're giving a special shout-out to Laura for an excellent job. The site, like the disease, is evolving and mutating, so be sure to check back often.

For you New Yorkers, Michael will be speaking in NYC on Thursday November 2. He has a powerpoint that will knock your socks off and promises to be more disturbing and thrilling an experience than watching Saw III.
