A note to my colleague, Prof. Marlene Martinez, about Field Guides

A quick post for my Biology colleague (and faculty office neighbor), Prof. Marlene Martinez: 

Although I appreciate your field guide for your Zoology students, this is puny compared to what I think is really needed: A Field Guide for Microbes!

I love this from @phylogenomics talk: We need a field guide for microbes like a field guide for birds #TBC2013 pic.twitter.com/WKYzgBU6RV
