H1N1 virus, climate change and Google

Playing a little catch-up with some higher education-related news …

*** Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y., released a statement late last week reporting that one of the school’s students had “died of complications related to H1N1 influenza.”

UW-Madison officials earlier last week said there already was a rather large outbreak of those infected with the H1N1 flu on campus, but that for most students it is a mild to moderate illness.

*** Wisconsinâ??s weather could undergo some significant changes in the future if the scenarios being calculated by the “worldâ??s most sophisticated computer climate models” are on the mark, UW-Madison announced in a news release.
