ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

My thanks to the Untitled Writers Group of Ann Arbor (Elizabeth Bartmess, Karen Everson, Anne Harris, Jonathan Jarrard, Erica Schippers, Catherine Shaffer, and Sarah Zettel) for putting up with the unexpected deluge of Battlestar Galactica chapters. Special gratitude is in order for Catherine Shaffer and her knowledge of prions. Thanks also go to Jim Frenkel for letting me do this in the first place.
