Summary
Students may find at some point that they want to buy biologically relevant materials over the internet. As with other aspects of the internet, there are simple rules which should be applied. In particular, the shopper should try to get background on the target supplier, should ensure that the supplier is not going to go into liquidation in the near future, should pay by credit card, since losses are recoverable from the credit card company, and should ensure that a good encryption system is in place. The text demonstrates the purchase over the internet of an item from a Museum.
