New Visitor Information
Thanks for visiting the Science Den!
Organization of the Science Den web site
There are currently three main sections of this site, there will, hopefully, be more eventually.
The first two are molecular biology related, or at least what I consider to be included within the
definition of molecular biology. The first of these,
Basic Concepts in Molecular Biology
contains articles whose primary purpose is to give background information to help with understanding
the articles in the
Current Research in Molecular Biology section.
The articles in Current Research will be updated as necessary to keep current, although only
the relatively more significant discoveries will be included. The date each article was
updated is displayed on the top of each page. Small changes to the article like correcting spelling
mistakes will cause this date to change also however. A mailing list sign up has been added to
many articles to notify those interested when significant updates to articles have been made.
Some articles have small Flash animations included with them to help explain the content of
the article. As much as possible they will be made so that they play once, then stop, then
have a button appear to be able to play the animation again.
All articles also have two different printer friendly versions available. Neither prints the
site logo or navigation. The low graphics version will include all images and flash files that
are part of the article.
The text only version has no images included. With the variety of operating systems and browsers
available it is impossible to ensure that the printer versions, along with other features of the
site, will function the same for all people.
Accessibility concerns were considered very important when deciding upon the design and
organization of this site. Please read through the information about the
accessibility of this site to learn more
about this as well as other useful information about the site.
In the right column of many pages there may also be links to buy products related to the content
of the articles. Most of these will be from Amazon, some may be from other sites like
Allposters.com. Buying products from following these links will cost the same as if you went
to their sites directly, however, by buying them from this site, a small commission will be
paid back to this site, to help keep this site online.
Lastly, if you have any questions or concerns please fill out the mail form below.
