I guess that Travel Reports don't always find the most important stories about place.

The Univ of Michigan @ Ann Arbor has for many, many years had the best of reputations
among state public health, CDC, and NIH for work done there on immunizations
and their years of actually producing vaccines that are distributed worldwide.

Although vaccine production has now been moved to private and over-seas companies,
there is still the institutional memory at work in Ann Arbor,
as recognized by a grant last year from the Melinda and Bill Gates Foundation.
