Our group at the US Naval Research Laboratory has experimentally investigated the optical properties of aerosol particles of biological composition, both ambient and laboratory- generated, for several years. This paper provides an update on recent laser-induced fluorescence results as well as a description of a new experiment to study angle-dependent Mueller matrix scattering elements starting this fall.
