Research connections
After mention of the basis for this possible vaccine, I was watching a different interview on TV (Creating Synthetic Life), and in that interview, one of the researchers involved in that was already speculating that there may be a way to apply that brand-new research result to the protein mentioned in the Cleveland research.
There are many possible ways in which the puzzle pieces might be put together, and the powers of computers combined with the internet itself as a tool in letting people see and share ideas so much faster are very dynamic in moving forward.
At the same time, we are becoming more and more dependent on them, and on our trust in their accuracy. Computers don't have "common sense", and the outcome they provide is dependent upon humans too.
Anyway, I think it is especially good that diverse areas of science are aware of each other's work, and are so much more rapidly aware than in the past, and can be faster to integrate with each other in planning future efforts.
