The Cypherpunks mailing list has a high signal/noise ratio.  Someone 
there reads every post, and remails "the actual news" to his subscriber 
list, so that his subscribers don't have to wade through the chatter.

Perhaps someone could volunteer to do something similar for the virology 
community here, until the influx of hysterical ebola posts fades away.

Of course, it's finals time -- maybe all the grad students are a little 
busy right now. ;)
