Your Web site, Microbes.info is being recognized with the Dr. Matrix Award for Science Excellence from "Dr. Matrix' Web World of Science" - the Web science exploration site of The Scientium.
Sites receiving this award are distinguished by the quality of their content alone. A flashy Web site will not receive this award if its content lacks interest and integrity. A simple Web site will receive this award if it serves the interests of discovery, mental enrichment and thoughtful enjoyment. This award doesn't go to "cool" sites. It goes to the great sites. It's not a daily, weekly, or monthly award, but an award based on presence, here and now. It is given in gratitude, with no other request but that you keep doing what you're doing.
