		+
		+	Re: Feature article on synthetic biology for ASM's Microbe magazine:
		+
		+	I'd like some short comments on why synthetic biology is drawing young scientists in --the excitement of it. I'd also like to know which discipline you come from (engineering, microbiology, biochemistry, etc.) This should be of interest to the folks at ASM. Surprisingly, we haven't had a Feature article on synthetic biology until now and I'd like to make mine as comprehensive as possible.
		+
		+	You can put the comments on my page or e-mail them them directly to me.

		+	The list of labs on the front page is pretty long. Perhaps we should go to a map of labs (not users) as Tom suggested? Can we get a map that looks relatively professional and to which labs can be added easily?
