Microbes on the New York Subway analyzed by Prof. Norman Pace & his team.

Milton Taylor's 20th Century History: My life.. Shepherd to Professor

An autobiography of a 'retired" professor of microbiology, from growing up in Scotland, immigration to Israel and living on a kibbutz ( shepherd) to arriving in the USA and eventually become a researcher and teacher. Will be posted as being written. Also occasional remarks on the world and politics as seen through my eyes.
