Scientists and government leaders have already started mapping out how to try to improve the world's first successful AIDS vaccine, which protected one in three people from getting HIV in a large study in Thailand.

In 1989, the vanguard of social networking technology came in the form of a fax machine purchased by Chinese students studying at the University of Michigan following the massacre in Tianamen… Continue
