[Wildlife/Conservation/Public Health (of bats)] The White Nose Syndrome Challenge has a winner!

"A graduate student and a post-doctoral student led the winning team from Oregon State University and the University of California. Working with experts in genomics, bioinformatics, plant pathology, mycology and vertebrate ecology, the group conceived of an aerosol spray to genetically silence the fungus that causes white-nose syndrome."
