Webdoodle I like this

Webdoodle is a 33 year old guy in a relationship from Missoula, Montana, USA.
Normally I can talk about myself all day, but put this little box in front of me and ask me to introduce myself to everyone, and I find I can't think of a thing. I'm a web application developer by trade, and a science enthusiast at heart.
Bacteria reveal secret of adaptation at Evolution Canyon (7/30/2008)
Jul 30, 9:00am    (1 review)  microbiology, bacteria, radiation  http://www.geneticstimes.com/research/Ba...
From the page: "Bacteria living on opposite sides of a canyon have evolved to cope with different temperatures by altering the make-up of their 'skin', or cell membranes. Scientists have found that bacteria change these complex and important structures to adapt to different temperatures by looking at the appearance of the bacteria as well as their genes."

How to make microwaves on a chip to replace X-rays for medical imaging...
Jun 1, 10:18am    (1 review)  medical-science, radiation, terahertz-radiation  http://www.matternews.com/research/How_t...
From the page: "Is microwave radiation the nondestructive imaging technology of the future? Microwaves with frequencies from a few hundred gigahertz (GHz) up to slightly over 1 terahertz (THz), penetrate just a short distance into surfaces without the ionizing damage caused by X-rays. The technology could be used to detect skin cancer or image dental flaws beneath the enamel. It could also be a valuable tool for airport security, to detect objects hidden under clothing."
