Work session for Nielson frozen collection

[Alan Graham]

Dear VES Members,

At the annual meeting last Sunday I indicated that Andrei Saurakov at the McGuire Center in Florida has offered to take Gordon Nielson’s frozen insect collection. These samples are stored in petri dishes at the Berlin lab of the Vermont Agency of Agriculture (near the airport). They have been removed from the freezer and air dried. 

To prepare the collection for shipping I am asking for volunteer help me prepare the specimens for shipment. This will involve layering a piece of tissue paper in each dish to protect the insects and placing a new rubber band to secure the lid. There are several hundred dishes.  Since I live an hour away from my lab, I am suggesting that we work a couple evenings.

 

If you wish to help, please send me your email address.  I will send out a doodle pole using your email address to look for best dates for everyone.

Thanks for any help you can offer,

Alan
