A new type of vectored vaccine for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), a virus that causes respiratory disease in humans, has been shown by scientists at Pirbright to provide immunity against a closely related virus in calves, giving strong evidence that a similar type of vaccine could work in humans.
At the start of this month The Royal Society played host to their annual Summer Science Exhibition week in London, which featured 22 cutting edge science exhibits on a diverse range of subjects, making sure there was something for everyone. A host of different science disciplines were represented including physics, chemistry, biology, geography, psychology and technology. People of all ages and educational backgrounds gathered to experience the interactives and wealth of knowledge that the stands had to offer.
