Bill Gates releases mosquitoes at Conference

You don't usually think of Bill Gates having a flair for the dramatic. But it seems he is very passionate about fighting malaria in third world countries. Now that he is retired, he can try to do something about it.

So he released lots of mosquitoes at a conference. It worked. He got his story in the news!

If you're interested, you can view it here. It's at about the 5 min mark.
