Polly, thanks for labeling all the beetles in the little cardboard box. Please pack up the box carefully in some kind of a padded envelope or a small box, and send them to this address (regular mail):
Dr. Demian Gomez
Instituto Nacional de Investigación Agropecuaria (INIA)
Ruta 5 km 386

Ask Mrs. Cindy Love downstairs how to send this kind of stuff, I don’t think we pay for it if it’s just regular mail.
Brian,
Please clean up the walk-in cooler. The traps, packing boxes, and the nitrogen tank are ours and should stay, everything else can be discarded. Clean up the whole thing well. Of course you should leave the shelves in there.
Please don’t do anything with the chemicals, Adam will deal with that.
When it’s done, move the rearing tupperware boxes with logs from the lab into that space.
Thanks.
Brian, when you are in next time, could you please let me know, and I will show you what needs to be done to clean up the walk-in freezer? Thanks
Could you please attach the new shelf for the incubators? I’ll tell you how when you get back to the lab.
WHen the shelf is attached, could you bring the last incubator from the basement and put it on the shelf?
Thanks!
Brian, could you move all vials from the box “ready for -80” to the -80 freezer in the basement?
Please make absolutely sure they are ALL sorted by number. Please don’t assume that they are sorted correctly, check them all, one by one.
Thank you!
Just found out that I wasn’t the first to develop the amazing BeetleBottle trap. The first one was an entomologist named Steve Bambara. Could you please rename the BeetleBottle trap to the Bambara Beetle Trap? It also sounds kind of fun….
Hola,
When we make a protocol on the /labprotocols site with the neat WP form, we then have to create a hard link to it on the /lab page, right? Just making sure that there isn’t some automatic function in there…

Scrape piece of 1 gallery in the hood, scrape into
a. 1 ml of 1X PBS AUTOCLAVED phosphate buffer saline solution in tube
3. mortar & pestle
4. plate directly, refrigeration decreases growing success
5. Plate three different dilutions, refer to the appropriate protocol.
TBD
Steps:
Rhiannon, how do I “un-close” comments to a post?
