Human microbiome story of the month: OpenBiome fecal bank for fecal transplants

Wow - fascinating story by David Glenn in the Chronicle of Higher Education: Student-Led Project Banks on Promise of Fecal Transplants - Research - The Chronicle of Higher Education.  The article tracks the story of Carolyn Edelstein and Mark B. Smith and James Burgess who have created a feces bank called OpenBiome to provide materials for fecal transplants.
