Bill Gates Kudos Moment

Any time Bill Gates or his Microsoft makes mistakes, we are sure to know. I guess it's time to give Microsoft a kudo when it's due.
Bill Gates has donated almost $260 million for the research of a vaccine for malaria. That is a nice chunk of change. Thank you Billy Boy.

What I would like to know is why he gave the money to British scientists and not American? Are American scientists inferior when it comes to research of a malaria vaccine?

While this is great news, some say malaria wouldn't be such an issue, especially in Africa, if the U.N. hadn't banned the use of DDT. I am currently not up to speed on the subject to agree with the statement, but it would not surprise me if the UN actually made things worse by trying to make things better.
