First, a longstanding testing

It just doesn't work.


It just doesn't work. It's a palm pilot, Texas Instruments, and it has been plugged in for a while, and it's used, but it doesn't work.

Do You Work on E. Coli?


If so, you should check out EcoliWiki, which you might find a useful resource, and you might even find yourself compelled to contribute some of your knowledge to it. Since I'm already blogging about E. coli today, I thought I would also bring up an interesting project I found out about earlier this week. I'm currently wrapping up a short visit to my alma mater, Texas A&M University, and while there, I've met up with two local science bloggers that I know of: Matt Springer of Built on Facts
