PROBLEM: Ever since early 2016 , when the Republican Party began to fussily resettle itself behind Donald Trump , Mitt Romney has been an intermittent oppositional figure , distinct from his party in both point of view and style . 
The conservative movement has grown smirking , clannish , quarrelsome ; Romney has been formal , chiding , and pained . 
After Trump won the election , that November , Romney met with Trump in the hope of securing for himself the position of Secretary of State . 
Yet this summer , after a white-supremacist rally in Charlottesville turned deadly , Romney professed deeper anxieties . 
For half a century , Romney and his family have existed close to the center of the Republican Party . 
Now -- just six years removed from being his party 's Presidential nominee , but with no distinct Romneyist camp in Washington and no obvious constituency to summon -- it is n't obvious that Romney fits in at all . 
Last week , the Utah senator Orrin Hatch announced that he would be retiring at the end of his term this year , and immediately Romney 's allies suggested that he would run for the seat ; the common wisdom was that his election would be all but assured . 
-LRB- Romney , a man of many residences , built his political career in Massachusetts , but he went to college in Utah , and helped to save the Salt Lake City Olympics from ruin in 2002 ; he is the most recognizable Mormon in the world , and he would be running in a state whose Republican Party is defined by its relationship to the L.D.S. Church . -RRB- 
Romney 's candidacy is still unannounced , and its most important position -- what line the candidate takes on the President -- is not yet obvious . 
"This thing is still developing ," one of Romney 's longtime advisers told me last week . 
But already the most romantic vision of Romney -- that he might arrive in Washington as the de-facto leader of an anti-Trump faction -- seems unlikely . 
"I 've heard some relatively simplistic assessments that he is going to be the voice of the Never Trump movement ," a senior adviser to Romney 's Presidential campaign said last week . 
Romney is a very pragmatic politician , too . 
Romney himself has made no sign of wanting to be part of such a faction , even if it existed . 
One of his advisers reminded me last week that Romney took the idea of being Trump 's Secretary of State seriously , and believed that Trump 's interest in him was entirely sincere . 
And , a month after his appalled reaction to Charlottesville , Romney tweeted praise for Trump 's speech before the U.N. General Assembly . 
Romney 's potential for tragedy and heroism both spring from the same source : the depth of his feeling for a version of America that may exist only in his mind , a place where the trees in Michigan are exactly the right height . 
Romney 's return to Utah has some elements of a homecoming ; it is also , more simply , a move to accommodating political terrain . 
Utah is a conservative state whose politics are moving toward Romney , rather than away . 
Modern Utah , the place of the salvaged Salt Lake Olympics , exists in the Romney image .

SOLUTION: Mitt Romney

PROBLEM: "The conventional approach to developing flu vaccines today is one in which we perform surveillance worldwide " said David Topham  director of the New York Influenza Center of Excellence and professor of microbiology and immunology at the University of Rochester in New York.
"We collect the viruses that are circulating in people " said  Topham  who was not involved in the new study . Those viruses then typically are studied in ferrets    he  said.
"We create an antigenic map of each virus and determine how similar or different that is than the (current) vaccine strain  and if it's different enough from the vaccine strain then we select that virus to be in  next year's vaccine " Topham  said. In other words  they make their best guess on what strains will be most likely to spread and cause illness based on surveillance data
On the other hand  the new study suggests "using high-throughput sequencing methods and genetic engineering to rationally design a virus to use as a vaccine "  he  said. "I thought it was a very innovative and comprehensive approach."
The new study acted like "rocket science" compared with the conventional approach used to develop flu vaccines   he  said.
So what does the future hold for flu vaccines and where could this new approach fit in? There has been a shift among researchers around the world to focus on developing universal vaccines   Topham  said.
"These  for influenza  would be vaccines that would last for at least five years and protect against 75% of the viruses that are out there "  he  said. "There are many ways that we might be able to achieve that. This approach that's described in this paper is just one approach."
