General updates to correct changes in web links as laboratories and
university microfabs have moved around on the web. The apparently
broken links below have been removed from the map above (I
could not immediately find a new link to the lab):
I have retained the original descriptions and links in the dated texts
below. Many of these links have also changed (they are changed in the interactive
subway map above), but have not yet been updated in the descriptions below.
