In case anybody missed this important story, here are some recaps:
Science and a discussion at Science now
Work & Life in Singapore in this week’s Science
Two articles discuss the exciting professional and personal opportunities available for Westerners in Singapore and across Asia:

A post-doctoral position is available
Research Fellow in Microbial Cell Biology of Bacterial Communities
We are seeking a highly motivated microbiologist with strong training in molecular biology, bacterial cell biology, and/or microbial communities.
