New link

Hi everyone,
I added a link to Heriberto, my fiancé’s, blog page which pertains to avian conservation, ecology and health and I thought this fits in with the public and global health theme for many reasons. So take a look and pass it on to anyone you think may be interested. This is a great way to continue with international collaboration as he has many contacts in Mexico. He just started this page up so maybe we can help bring more interest and ideas to the page! Thank you for taking a look!
