More interesting stuff I didn't get to...

First, outbreak news that I've not had a chance to write about. A huge cholera outbreak is ongoing in Angola; meanwhile, a small measles outbreak has been reported in Boston.

Invasive bullfrogs may be spreading around the deadly chytrid fungus that has been implicated in mass amphibian deaths around the world.

The FDA has approved a new shingles vaccine for adults who had chickenpox.

New studies show that the time to get kids interested in science is when they're young.

And something I keep meaning to mention...BlogHer. Not familiar? Read all about it.

Have a good weekend!
