A few nice Space Vaccine images I found:
Digging It

With Kevin Rose, founder of Digg, and Nathan Myhrvold (former CTO of Microsoft). The founders of Google and Twitter were to my right for this TED Braintrust lunch.
An usual confluence of invitations had me dining with Gates for lunch and dinner on the same day (coincidentally, philosopher-king Daniel Dennett was also at both meals).
After we sat down, Gates lamented the setback from the Muslim clerics who preached that polio vaccines made the girls infertile: "The anti-vaccine movement has killed many people. It's frustrating. But we are working with the clerics. It is very hierarchical, so we can start at the top. In the next three years, we will either conquer polio, or we won't. It's a very important time."

Salmonella Invades a Cultured Human Cell (NASA, International Space Station, 7/28/11)

Editor's note: this great image isn't from NASA, so please see the credit below. It was used on a Web feature about a current experiment aboard the International Space Station, which is assisting with research and development of next-generation vaccines to protect against diseases caused by pathogenic microbes. Now how cool is THAT?
