Wow, the InVision Guide sure is cool! It is very interactive and once I realized I could "open" the information, it really drew me in. Maybe I'm just a sucker for glossy graphics!
This might have been a nice, gentle intro to the diseases of the CV system before reading Lilly's great text on the subject.
Thanks for posting the link.
Jessica: Thanks so much for reading and commenting. The InVision Guide is certainly cool. After further exploration, I'd prefer it if the tool were a little bit more user-friendly. I had trouble navigating it at times. Flash is cool, but confusing sometimes.
