Medical+Research+Expert

One of the jobs of a medical research expert is to study the history of viruses and diseases, and to inform the public about the facts. If you are playing the role of the medical researcher, think about the following questions:

What is the flu? How is the swine flu related to the "regular" flu (seasonal flu)? How do new strains of the flu occur? How do researchers develop vaccines that are specific to each new strain of the flu? What does it mean for a virus to mutate?
