- Get your name on the seminar notice list with Peg Morrow, the Huestis list with Ellen and the fish hut e mail distribution list and the User's List of the Zebrafish Database with Marcie and the Fish user’s list with Tim Mason.
- Get a place for yourself in the refrigerator and on a shelf. Bonnie might be able to help.
