- Bugscope Team Easter?
- Bugscope Team hello easter
- Guest I at the Nanotechnology workshop. I am interested in getting instructions for firefox.


- Guest Hello Cate
- Bugscope Team Easter do you know where we are, what we do?
- 11:24am
- Bugscope Team This is our remote access outreach program, Bugscope, at the University of Illinois.
- Guest I participated in the nano-cemmes project during June 08. I did visit your lab area during that classtime. I asked at that time if minerals might be viewed as well. I want to show students crystal structure.
- Bugscope Team okay, got it
- Bugscope Team Easter we can image crystals.
- Bugscope Team Sometimes they are not of sustaining interest for younger kids.
- Guest We are now going to lunch, so I need to logout. I will contact you later. Looking forward to participating with my students this school year. Thanks.
