Making science accessible to all

"Why meat rots" is the topic of a story on The Why Files, a website designed to explain the science behind the news and make science accessible to all. The story is based on the research publications of IGERT trainees that explain how microbes use chemistry to compete with larger organisms. http://whyfiles.org/shorties/219bacterial_stink/ This research is also shared on YubaNet, a website that delivers daily news to the Sierra. http://www.yubanet.com/cgi-bin/artman/exec/view.cgi/21/44957
