Galveston County Daily News, Nov. 11, 2008 Dr. Stan Lemon writes about the Galveston National Laboratory in this guest column. "Just as it will brighten the future of infectious disease research, the laboratory will contribute to a brighter future for Galveston. ... It's a tribute to the community and university that such a wonderful facility as the Galveston National Lab can hold its grand opening in the shadow of one of the greatest disasters to befall this beautiful island."
