[Nhcoll-l] Larval Fish Workshop Announcement

[Gil Nelson]

Hi, Sarah

I am interested in this from the imaging perspective, especially for 
sharing techniques through iDigBio workshops. Any chance I might be able 
to take just the imaging in without attending the entire workshop? Maybe 
we can discuss this in Illinois in a few weeks. No worries if you can't 
accommodate.

Best,

Gil
