NESTENE: A customary first post
http://nestene.blogspot.com/2012/05/customary-first-post.html
Tuesday, May 29, 2012. A customary first post. I'm Shakthi, and you are- well, you have far more carcinogens around you than you could ever know. That's why I started the NESTENE project.

I try to do this while detailing the scientific side of things as well. Thank you for taking the time to visit us.
