More science quickies

• Scientists combine 100 images of virus to show 3-D structure of HIV.
• I knew that we shared 99% of the chimpanzee's genes, so I suppose it shouldn't come as too much of a surprise that chimps seem to be more closely related to humans than to gorillas and orangutans.
• Did you see the recent news story that basically said men enjoy seeing cheaters suffer? Then don't miss James Gorman's amusing Side Effects column, This Is Your Brain on Schadenfreude.
• Finally, it's only tangentially science-related, but I really enjoyed Yiyun Li's Tang-flavored memoir, entitled Eat, Memory: Orange Crush.
