That's nasty

Anyone want to help Joolya with her unpleasant personal fungus problem? I should warn you that there are photographs at that link, and she is naked under her lab coat.

In the world of science blogging, it would seem, that there ain't many cell biologists (as far as I can tell). What is a Cell Biologist? Well lets just say that one of the main tools of your trade is photographing fluorescent images of cells. Here is another definition (from the Disciplines of the…

After clicking on the link, I am not sure if I should be disappointed about the lack of nakedness under the lab coat, or relieved.

On second thought, a reference to nakedness and fungus makes me relieved that the nakedness wasn't evident.

Oh, and I don't know what fungus it is either. Tinea would be my fungus of preference, considering the other known places where fungus can form.
