Solving Things That You Hate

Maria Merziotis found a possible solution to the flu virus.Maria Merziotis, a 17-year old from Canada despised flu so much that she came up with a way to get rid of it.

Maria, who recently took first prize in the Sanofi-Aventis BioTalenet challenge for this achievement, has achieved this by creating a molecule that would act as an alternate receptor for the virus, ensuring that human cells are protected.

Medical bodies are testing Maria's concept and early indications are that it is very positive.

Take some time to follow Maria's example. What disease, problem, social issue or prejudice would you most like to solve. What issues move you emotionally and upset you deeply when you are faced with them?

Could you find a solution to them? More appropriately, is there already someone who has found a solution but needs support in their cause?
