This looked like a very good site as well. Sometimes I am a little skeptical of ".com" sites. but, this one has good information from reputable sources (including the NIH and CDC). I wasn't sure about the creditials of some of the authors, but I could find anything that wasn't science-based. It seems definitely targeted for the lay public.
ReplyDeleteI liked the prefix/suffix chart. I helps in future use as well if you see terms that are unfamiliar you can think back to the chart and see what you can break down.
