The threat of bioterrorism in the US has greatly complicated the process of shipping biological materials. Linda keeps current on the rules and regulations and her efforts allow CBE researchers to receive their samples, to share bacteria strains, and otherwise to exchange biological materials with our collaborators around the world.
