Joanna Scott just wrote a nice little review of what is going on at Nature Island (slurl) on Nature's Nascent blog since her return from the American Chemical Society meeting in Chicago.

The Blue Obelisk Cemetery, where I give my students quiz races on Fridays was featured (only possible through help from Beth and Eloise - thanks again!). Another fun place is Mary Anne Clark's biological cell that you can enter and float amongst the mitochondria.

Nature Island has really become a very interesting place to hang out, meet smart people and learn and share.
