Since Henry Niman sometimes posted his warnings on bird flu here as well as on other SI boards, I found this piece interesting.

A Bird Flu Watcher Develops a Following Through the Internet
By Nicholas Zamiska

The Wall Street Journal, Friday, March 24, 2006

HENRY L. NIMAN is a sort of macabre bird watcher, trailing the deaths of
chickens, ducks and pigeons late at night by the glow of a computer monitor in
the office of his suburban Pittsburgh home.

There, the 57-year-old biochemist keeps vigil over a blog and an explosion of
offshoot Internet discussion groups tracking the avian flu virus across the
world. Dr. Niman sleeps "a few hours here and there," living partly on
dwindling savings from previous research jobs. He recently shifted his schedule
toward the Asian time zones to keep up with the fast-moving bird flu
developments in the region.
