SYDNEY, Oct 5 (Reuters) - Residents of towns in the Australian state of Victoria were on Thursday warned it was still unsafe to return home, as flash floods followed bushfires that also forced people to flee. People in several towns along the Macalister River in the southeastern state were told to evacuate late on Wednesday after waters rose to dangerously high levels. Rains eased on Thursday, though disaster management officials said large amounts of water still needed to be flushed through the river systems. "The good news is (there is) no more serious rain expected," he told state broadcaster ABC. Emergency warnings urging evacuated residents not to return remain in place for several towns in the area.

A researcher is developing a nasal spray using custom proteins that could protect against COVID-19. Baker's lab plans to start early human testing of the nasal spray later this year to make sure it's safe and test its efficacy. Using AI, his ultimate goal is to create a nasal spray that's full of proteins that can block many different viruses. Then the proteins could be manufactured and placed in a nasal spray. Baker said that designed proteins are more stable than naturally occurring proteins, so they won't degrade before they make it to one's nose.
