Greetings, Interesting blog post. I have only discovered the blogosphere within the last couple of weeks and I am totally hooked!! It is sites like this that are responsible! =) I've been so encouraged that I made the decision to make my own site. I'm just doing some research for a post i'm writing and would like to enquire if I can link to this article? I think it may be of great interest to my readers. Cheers! . Janine Butcher
Sure you can link to Science in the Triangle posts. The more readers the merrier.
