There is a note at the end of the article to say that more videos will be reviewed in the following issue (which has not arrived here yet) so I imagine that will be a good source of information.

S. DEGREE, MBA-STYLE MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" PROFESSIONAL INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT M. S. DEGREE, MBA-STYLE Department of Entomology at Michigan State University We are pleased to announce a two-year non-research interdisciplinary program that starts in the Fall of 1999. Please forward to all potential students within your areas and institutions. (http://www.ent.msu.edu/dept/docs/ipm-ms.html) This unique program is designed for prospective students with B.S./B.A. degrees in the biological or agricultural sciences, or working professionals with B.S./B.A. degrees who wish to advance or change their careers. The objective is to graduate professionals who are knowledgeable in IPM, and who posses the business management and communication skills necessary to succeed in the public and private sectors. Students entering this program will meet regular university graduate admissions requirements and are expected to have a basic knowledge of computer applications. Course work will consist of i) Certificate Workshops from Business and Communications Arts, ii) interdisciplinary courses, and iii) a Summer Internship. Excluding any prerequisites and the Certificate Workshops, students will need to complete 31 credits (see web page). Summer Internships, a critical component of the industrial linkage and one of the best mechanisms for assimilating the student into the job market, will be conducted on locations where financial support has been arranged. There is strong private and public sector support for these Summer Internships. Because of the Certificate Workshops, tuition for this program will be about $3,000 higher than the traditional M. S. programs. There may be a limited number of fellowships ranging from a full-ride (in-state students only) to amounts that help to defray the extra tuition fees. Questions concerning the program should be forwarded to Dr. Haddish Melakeberhan, Program Coordinator, Department of Entomology, 243 Natural Science Building, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI 48824 USA.

The coverslips of slides some 50-100 years old have disconnected from the embedded whole mount. Is somebody aware what kind of embedding medium was used commonly at that time in Germany, Europe, or the USA? Is it possible to identify the embedding medium in one way or another easily? 2. The embedding medium (might be canada balsam) has withdrawn from around the specimen leaving the specimen in a cavity. Is there any possibility to re-embed specimens? 3. Slides from the rotifer collection of Charles Rousselet (slides made around 1910) show white precipitations in the periphery of the sealed coverslip. The embedding medium is glass-clear and not yellowish as in other material from that time. 4. Slides occasionally break apart, and we try to glue together major parts with a glass-clear 2-component epoxid resin (Henkel: Pattex Kraft-Mix). 5. Which embedding medium/procedure would you recommend for permanent slides of fresh specimens of a) Crustacea and b) "worms" such as Polychaeta or Nematoda? Sealed paraffin-glycerin mounts as commonly used for nematodes probably require regular inspection intervals o check the quality of the slides? I have looked through several books on the preservation of natural history collections, but did not find hints to how to solve problems as mentioned above.

Thanks to all taxacomers who helped me. This is a summary of all your advices: Long time storage is possible in alcohol. There should be some evidence that the nematodes become brittle after (+)50 years when the alcohol includes glycerine. Otherwise the glycerine is good for soften the specimen up (5 parts glycerine with 95 parts 70% ethanol). This can make other techniques (e.g. SEM) problematic. Good results in soften nematodes up were made with trisodium phosphate and lactophenol - this is also good for lighten the specimen up. It is possible to mount nematodes in pure glycerine. When transferring nematodes from formalin to alcohol this should be done with a series of increasingly higher percentages of ethanol. ---------------------------------------- Marion Link Museum fuer Naturkunde Institut fuer Systematische Zoologie Invalidenstr. 43; 10115 Berlin; Germany Tel. +49/30/20938525 Fax. +49/30/20938528 ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 24 Mar 1999 15:32:11 +0100 Reply-To: NEMA Discussion List Sender: NEMA Discussion List From: Paul De Ley Subject: ASP/SON abstracts - letter of acceptance In-Reply-To: <199902171953.LAA10719@franc.ucdavis.edu> MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Hi Howard, I'm trying to get funding for Monterey, so red tape requires me to include a letter of acceptance for the abstracts in which I'm presenter/coauthor.
