Links for this episode The paper that first caught Dr. Gilman’s eye when I suggested she read it while in my laboratory: “The influence of sex, handedness, and washing on the diversity of hand surface bacteria.” Another paper suggested by Dr. Gilman: “Boomerang academics: why we left academia for industry, but then came back.” Still another paper: “Academia or Industry: Where Would I Fit In?” A website for the Institute of Food Technologists, with wonderful links and information. A nonspecialist’s introduction to Aspergillus oryzae that makes koji. A review article about the koji mold, Aspergillus oryzae. A conference website devoted to the study of koji and A. oryzae.
