Environmental sensors and handheld devices that quickly and easily detect and identify individual viruses would provide early warning of infections in individuals, the spread of disease in populations, and biological weapons attacks.

The rapid development of nanotechnology in recent years has given researchers tools for building highly sensitive virus detectors. A team from Harvard University has built a detector from nanowires transistors that can identify individual virus particles in real time in unpurified samples.

A danish friend of mine from graduate school, Søren E. Skovlund, works for Novo Nordisk and recently published an article on diabetes. His focus for years has been on the psycho-social elements relative to health, wellness, and health care.

An excellent site if you're trying to identify a given fungus or just trying to learn about Mycology.

Another good mushroom identification/classificaton site.

Most of the cells in your body are not your own, nor are they even human. They are bacterial. From the invisible strands of fungi waiting to sprout between our toes, to the kilogram of bacterial matter in our guts, we are best viewed as walking "superorganisms," highly complex conglomerations of human, fungal, bacterial and viral cells.
