Hello and congratulations!

Your Web site, "The Grapes of Staph," (http://student.ccbcmd.edu/~gkaiser/goshp.html) is being recognized with the Dr. Matrix Award for Science Excellence from "Dr. Matrix' Web World of Science" (http://www.scientium.com/drmatrix/) - the Web science exploration site of The Scientium (scientium.com).

"The Grapes of Staph" is also being honored with prominent display as a select site at http://www.scientium.com/drmatrix/awards/ in the 2004 categories:

Biology and Evolution
Exploration and Reference
Student Resource

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.

As a recipient of the Dr. Matrix Award for Science Excellence on the World-Wide Web, there are several award images which are freely available for display at your site if you choose to use them. The award images are of varying sizes and are in both the GIF and JPG format. Award images are located at http://www.scientium.com/drmatrix/awards/dmaward.htm

You're under no obligation to do so, but it would be gratifying for you to include a link back to the Web World of Science from the award image. The URL to use for this link is:http://www.scientium.com/drmatrix/

A heartfelt thank you for enriching the time we spend on the World-Wide Web.
