Research is a good treasure to understand creativity and innovation. Each day, new things are found, with researchers trying out novel methods. We can take few lessons from their journey and use it to get better results in our life.

You all get your flu shot right every year. But you probably already know that its trying to keep up with the weather, making a flu vaccine for the right strain that is going to hit this year. Researchers at MIT are makign a one-shot flu shot. earlier vaccines tried to used the more mutable protein head of the drug to fight the virus. Their current approach is to use the stable protein stem.
"The problem is that while the vaccine prompts production of antibodies against the flu virus, those antibodies tend to target a viral protein segment that is especially prone to mutation. If the antibodies could bind to the stable protein “stem” instead of its changeable “head,” they could protect against any flu strain, and people wouldn’t need to get new shots year after year."
