Internship, week of 3/26

One of Gest's major contributions was the discovery of "a new family of photosynthetic green bacteria (Heliobacteriaceae, which includes Heliobacterium gestii)"... that's right, one of them was even named after him. There's an entire box of documents related to this discovery and I think it's relevant to keep them together. Gest had already given them headings based on groupings that seem pretty logical and I'm not entirely certain how they should be arranged otherwise, so I preserved the original order and headings wherever possible. I considered a few other options and decided this was the most reasonable course, but I worry a little bit that this is actually an excuse for playing it safe. I'll get some advice from Phil on that.
