(no subject)

Before the con ended, I wound up buying several more Giant Microbes: Shigella (dysentery), Helicobacter (ulcer) and mononucleosis. After we left the con Sunday afternoon, I went home and slept, woke up for supper, went back to sleep, and didn't wake up until noon Monday. Then I went to school and did all kinds of catch-up. So today I am finally on a schedule of sorts, and catching up here. I will read all my friends' posts after this post.

What I have sitting around is another stack of science web sites, mostly from Science and Natural History. Here they are:
