Microbial Forensics

hello! So I said I was going to try and update this blog at least once a week and well, I have failed at that :) But alas, here is an update. So, y'all remember that anthrax scare several years ago, where some envelopes filled with anthrax were mailed to rather important people? Yeah, that was scary. But anywho, I found this article in the Science journal that describes how they (the federal government) tracked down the guy that did this. It is rather quite amazing...if you are interested in science and microbiology that is.
