00:59:33 Tanya Accone: Please, please compile the links and tips and tricks… this is gold! 00:59:45 Jeanne Poremski: Almost as good as being there. 01:00:24 Bob Allen: bioquip.com 01:00:32 Brenda Tucker: Good morning from Denton Tx 01:00:40 Margrit McIntosh: https://bioquipinc.com/ 01:00:46 Bob Allen: Been using BioQuip products since 1969! 01:00:50 Marek Stanton: https://bioquipinc.com 01:00:52 Margrit McIntosh: They have a new website: https://bioquipinc.com/ 01:01:11 Denise Ellsworth: I love the Rose net…it’s the one I use as well 01:01:13 Amy Weinstein: can you also provide links to the photo sites, etc., mentioned in the intro 01:01:32 Bob Allen: Thanks, Marek. I forgot about their newer link. 01:01:47 Denise Ellsworth: Link to nets: https://www.bioquip.com/Search/WebCatalog.asp?category=18000&prodtype=1 01:02:17 Bob Allen: I prefer the stiff net ring with their soft net bag 01:02:41 Laura Langlois Zurro: there are SO many in the website 01:03:09 Bob Allen: The Rose nets are great but expensive. 01:04:12 Bob Allen: Collapsible nets + extensions are nice to keep in the car. Perfect for hiking 01:04:21 Denise Ellsworth: Links to share: 01:04:23 Denise Ellsworth: Check out The Handy Bee Manual, the quintessential reference for bee enthusiasts! https://prd-wret.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/assets/palladium/production/s3fs-public/atoms/files/The%20Very%20Handy%20Manual%20-%202015.pdf Flickr bee images, USGS Bee Inventory and Monitoring Lab https://www.flickr.com/photos/usgsbiml Find Sam Droege and Clare Maffei’s bee identification videos here http://bio2.elmira.edu/fieldbio/beemovies/index.html Other Sam Droege-related links, compiles by Dr. Daniel Kjar (bee ID slideshows, Bees of Maryland PDF, label maker and more!) http://bio2.elmira.edu/fieldbio/beemovies/index.html Bees of Ohio: A Field Guide https://cpb-us-w2.wpmucdn.com/u.osu.edu/dist/2/86606/files/2020/06/Bees-of-Ohio_-A-Field-GuideV1.1.1.pdf Based on Bees of Maryland, a product of Sam Droege et.al. http://bio2.elmira.edu/fieldbio/beesofmarylandbookversion1.pdf 01:04:26 Wendy Hall: Somewhere I have a collapsible net with a frame that you can twist into a ~5” circle - kinda like what he just showed, but the poles slide into each other - telscoping. 01:04:32 Laura Langlois Zurro: I hope Sam warned them we’d all be crashing their website 😂 01:05:50 Marek Stanton: I have greatly enjoyed those identification videos. 01:06:38 Denise Ellsworth: Sam Droege’s YouTube videos: https://www.youtube.com/user/swdroege/videos 01:07:10 Joan Milam: you can also find them with flat bottoms which I prefer 01:07:23 B Tryon: as a citizen scientist, I wouldn't dream of killing the insect to look at it. 01:07:36 Kristen Wickert: does the type of soap matter? dish soap? 01:08:23 Marie Delahaye: I agree 01:08:36 Wendy Hall: Sorry for this silly technical question, but how can I save parts of the chat. Computer won’t let me copy and paste. 01:08:54 Roxanne Luff: screen shot it 01:08:57 Denise Ellsworth: I’ll save and post the chat on our website :) 01:09:14 Wendy Hall: Thanks, Denise! 01:09:21 Tanya Accone: @Wendy, that was a good question! Thank you @Denise! 01:09:24 B Tryon: Denise, please refresh my memory on your website address. 01:09:36 Kim Landsbergen: Thanks Denise! This is so helpful! 01:10:19 Denise Ellsworth: I will post Sam’s paper about “to kill or not to kill” 01:10:53 Denise Ellsworth: Find Sam Droege and Clare Maffei’s bee identification videos here http://bio2.elmira.edu/fieldbio/beemovies/index.html 01:11:01 Donald Vicarel: I can copy the chat and paste with no prob—On my Mac I command A (to select everything, then open a Word document, and then command v to paste it. 01:11:33 David Jennings: that would be great, we are trying to get Washington state to allow people to collect native bees —right now it is illegal for people to collect any kind of terrestrial invertebrates…but you can spray them with pesticides 01:11:37 Nancy Navarre: I am liking this interactive Zoom between San and Denise! 01:11:52 Denise Ellsworth: Wow David, that sounds crazy! 01:12:01 David Jennings: agreed 01:13:08 Rick Exner: Looks like a 5" tube to me 01:14:09 Amy Leventhal: As a Citizen Conservationist I do not use any chemicals in our yard, have grown a forest, and planted all kinds of native plants and flowers. I want as many insects to thrive in our yard as possible. That being said because of Climate Change I know the Scientific study of Bees is Hugely important and that is why Im here to learn. I find the killing idea horrifying 01:15:42 Laura Langlois Zurro: thank you for sharing this technique Sam. I do non lethal macro photography and that is a great tip. thanks for all you do 01:15:54 Bob Allen: @Denise, how to you attach the ziplock bag to the next? Can you show one? 01:16:00 Laura Langlois Zurro: Denise will you post some images of your technique 01:16:07 Michael Williams: This how-to and back and forth is great! 01:16:13 Holly Higgins: You could probably modify to act a little like a plankton net collection...by putting a twist ring and bottle at the boot end of the net. 01:16:17 Laura Langlois Zurro: for the net 01:16:23 Bobette Mauck: Denise, how can we get the bee poster behind you? 01:16:31 R.Kathie McClung: It would be helpful if you had copy/paste option turned on the chat. 01:16:48 Bob Allen: Aspirator. Bioquip sells a blowing type aspirator, much safer 01:16:51 Susan May: I'm interested in the zip net too! We use a no kill method of catch, chill and photograph through zip lock bags, so this would be very interesting to see! Thanks! 01:16:57 Allyson Dather: in the https://www.nebraskabumblebeeatlas.org/about.html bumble bees get placed in the tubes, chilled, photographed & released (no kill survey) data is uploaded to Bumble bee watch 01:16:57 Denise Ellsworth: The zip net on page 3 of the very handy manual Check out The Handy Bee Manual, the quintessential reference for bee enthusiasts! https://prd-wret.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/assets/palladium/production/s3fs-public/atoms/files/The%20Very%20Handy%20Manual%20-%202015.pdf 01:17:21 Jeanne Poremski: I’ve been using this inversion into a plastic bag right along—never been stung. When I collect lightning bugs I am astounded at the sheer volume of insects flying in the dark. 01:18:00 Susan McFaul: Open the chat & take a screen shot of the portions you want to keep -- then paste into a powerpoint slide or word doc. That way, I got his pic on screen with his links with his picture. 01:18:08 Elizabeth Crisfield: Sam already said it's nearly impossible to identify to species without a microscope - but if you don't want to kill, sometimes I capture the bee in a clear bug jar, I put it in the fridge for 15 minutes, and then I can take some pretty detailed pictures, even with a desktop USB microscope for example. It still might not get you to species, but you would probably get enough detail to be confident about genus. And the bee warms up and flies off about the time I'm done taking the pictures... sometimes before. 😀 01:18:32 Gene Kremer: someone has talking in the background 01:19:22 Sally Youngs: How do you take a screen shot? 01:19:43 David Jennings: chat will be posted later 01:19:50 Gene Kremer: press your PrtScn key 01:20:04 Marek Stanton: It is a bit disturbing and sounds wrong,I agree, to collect bees so we can protect them, Amy. Although there are hundreds of bees for each species, generally. So taking a few will not harm the populations. 01:20:12 Cindy Opitz: I use my phone to take photos of screens 01:20:18 Kim Landsbergen: How do we join the ListServ Sam mentioned? 01:20:37 Thomas Wahlrab: control, shift, 4 then using your cursor to cover the screen, when you stop you’ll hear a click and you’ve got it 01:20:39 Bob Allen: Screen shot method depends on your computer’s operating system. 01:20:46 Susan McFaul: On my computer, Ctrl + PrtSc -- probably different on your computer... 01:20:58 Elizabeth Crisfield: On windows you can also hit "window", "shift", and "S" at the same time and it will snap. 01:20:58 Holly Higgins: You should be able to copy the text and paste it into a word type document. Just right click and hold at the bottom and scroll all the way up to highlight the whole chat. 01:21:07 Elaine Robinson: Also use coffee filters 01:21:25 Holly Higgins: Sorry, left click and hold 01:21:27 SherryAnn Cordover: On an iPad, to take a screen shot, you push the home button and power button at the same time 01:21:35 Bob Allen: macOS: command - shift - 5, then drag the corners of the capture to surround your desired image, then hit the Return key 01:21:42 Martha Podren: With the insect biomass crashing, and from there, the bird population, I would make the case for other techniques of identifying bees, killing reserved for scientists who require it - not to create a collection for pleasure. 01:21:58 SherryAnn Cordover: Command, shift 4? 01:22:41 Gina Brown: Hover to the right of the chat screen, Right click on the 3 dots to easily copy chat info. 01:22:45 Julie Slater: You can buy bags like that online - organza gift bags! 01:23:31 marcyloomis: Screenshot on a Mac: Command -Shift-4 gets you crosshairs and you can drag over what you choose 01:23:58 Susan May: Are the tags in the handy bee manual? We are doing a native bee survey and have need of these! 01:24:00 Denise Ellsworth: Bees in Your Backyard poster: https://www.amazon.com/Backyard-Bees-North-America-Poster/dp/B07XWGLXZX 01:24:03 Bob Allen: I use pain strainers from any hardware store. About $1-2 each. I also put them over larvae on plants 01:24:04 Wendy Hall: Sorry, Gina - copy and paste appears to be disabled. 01:24:15 Denise Ellsworth: I will post the chat with the recording :) 01:24:20 Helen Koch: Please show or repeat what the fields are on the tag. 01:24:34 Bob Allen: Yep, copy/paste is disabled on zoom… for me at least. 01:25:01 Denise Ellsworth: I can’t alter “copy paste” for the chat, sorry! 01:25:15 Eileen Graessle: I 01:25:43 Bobette Mauck: thank you 01:25:48 B Tryon: I'm able to copy and paste; fortunately for many who can't though, Denise has it handled 01:25:48 Gina Brown: Hum, maybe a local setting. It is working for me. 01:25:55 Sara Yosua: thank you, Denise. that would be a huge help. 01:26:06 Marek Stanton: It is working for me also still . . 01:26:39 Nash Turley: I made a video on washing and drying bees with some modifications to Sam's methods :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfk6OPMRJZg 01:27:06 Liz Bright: thank you Denise 01:28:02 Peter: Does frost free cycles of the freezer pose any problems for the amount of time the specimens are in the freezer? 01:28:03 Bob Allen: Thank you Nash. Hey, we follow each other on twitter! 01:28:11 Amy Weinstein: since you are recording to the cloud, there will likely be a copy of the chat in your account where you go to get the recording… 01:28:12 Cindy Opitz: Sam, are you drying all bees using those methods, or just ones that were put into fluid? 01:28:16 Marek Stanton: I have heard from people at the Oregon Bee Atlas that bees can get freezer burn, is that true if they are left in there too long? 01:29:03 Denise Ellsworth: Sam’s favorite pins: https://www.homesciencetools.com/product/insect-pins-size-2-student/?gclid=CjwKCAjw-ZCKBhBkEiwAM4qfF7fYTvlKksLTD6XJK9Ph4GnLPkmHltV7c6yoEjObOdfUkgogXMrMYhoCjL0QAvD_BwE 01:29:09 Jill Cheilik: Don't think this topic is for me. Thanks for the session. 01:29:30 jana goldman: Ha! Now I understand why pencil! Thanks! 01:29:41 R.Kathie McClung: Good idea on screen shot, missing his exhibits, though. I'll get copy from Denise later, I guess. 01:30:00 Rachel Fordyce: Does sending the specimens through the washing machine and dryer not break off a bunch of legs and antennae? 01:30:33 Bob Allen: Hey, it’s Hot Tub Time Machine 01:30:37 Elaine Donovan: Thank you but must go now. 01:32:26 Bob Allen: BioQuip’s featherweight forceps are the best https://bioquipinc.com/catalog/lab-equipment-supplies/forceps/featherweight-forceps/ 01:32:50 Marek Stanton: I agree with that Bob. :) 01:33:23 Bob Allen: Marek has good taste 😉 01:34:18 Wendy Hall: Ha! I would think that at a university there would be an ample supply of free pizza boxes! 01:34:40 Marek Stanton: Do you just reuse pizza boxes from lunches and dinners or from the recycling bins? 01:35:25 Bob Allen: Who else wants pizza now? 01:36:21 jana goldman: Mushroom, pepperoni, and anchovies for me, please. 01:36:32 Charlie Huth: Use new boxes. Go to your local pizza joints and ask. Most will give you some or sell them! 01:36:35 Pam Phillips: i love all the reused materials 01:37:26 Willow Cheeley: Are those QR codes on labels? 01:37:52 R.Kathie McClung: They NEED to be "new" boxes? Or can you repurpose used pizza boxes? 01:37:53 Nancy Navarre: So, this must be how bee bowl projects can be processed at the lab. Interesting! 01:38:43 SherryAnn Cordover: Are there enough bees to do so much killing? I thought we were in the middle of native bee loss 01:39:19 Marek Stanton: Thank you for answering my question. I have kept my specimens in the freezer for long periods as I like to arrange the bees to look pretty. I was told it is best that I didn’t though. 01:39:21 Elaine Robinson: I helped sort and pin bees at the OSU lab in Newark, Ohio. Fascinating to work with the specimens and see the process. 01:39:28 Eileen Graessle: I've seen Sam Droege's work on power line corridors acting as pollinator habitat with management to prevent trees, tall bushes and invasive plants instead of all grass. Does he have any updates on progress in this direction by US energy companies with or without connection to Monarch butterfly habitat? 01:39:44 Donna Thomas: I am finding this program very confusing and I really don’t know how this pertains to anything I would do! 01:41:00 Kim Landsbergen: Sam - how does that bee density estimate cary with habitat type? Forest, suburbia, prairie, old field etc 01:41:05 Kim Landsbergen: ^vary 01:41:10 Marek Stanton: Which part in particular, I may or someone else be able to help clarify. 01:41:44 Wendy Hall: Wow! I didn’t know that solitary bees are also haplodiploid! 01:41:52 Donna Thomas: Why is it important for me to collect and “process” bees? 01:41:53 Laura Langlois Zurro: thank you for the scientific vs moral explanation 01:42:06 Kayla Dodson: Very interesting program even if I never collect bees (or other insects). 01:42:44 Kay Greene: I doubt I’ll ever collect bees, but this program has been fascination. Thanks so much. 01:42:48 David Jennings: only need to do that if the bees you want to ID need to go under a microscope to get a species ID 01:42:52 Marek Stanton: Was his explanaition just now of help? 01:42:55 Bob Allen: In any bee survey, whether professional or for community science, there must be technical entomologists behind it. Otherwise identifications will not be certain. Voucher specimens are vital for certain identification. 01:44:05 Donna Thomas: I don’t see myself looking under microscopes to iD them. Would I send them to someone to do this? 01:44:08 R.Kathie McClung: I hate to say this, I don't mean to be rude, but can someone remind his friends we can still hear the chatter and moving furniture. DISTRACTING 01:44:12 Bob Allen: “Morphospecies” = if a specimen looks like it’s a separate species, then count/sort it as such, until proven otherwise. Speeds up sorting. 01:44:24 Cynthia Capelle: Thanks Sam, thanks Denise, for all you do and share! I have learned a lot to share with my grandchildren! They love it! 01:45:43 Denise Ellsworth: Find a great label making link here (including QR codes) Other Sam Droege-related links, compiles by Dr. Daniel Kjar (bee ID slideshows, Bees of Maryland PDF, label maker and more!) http://bio2.elmira.edu/fieldbio/beemovies/index.html 01:45:49 Rick Exner: For most rank amateurs like me, it would be more useful to have a basic and hands-on workshop on identifying species. The resources made available in this series seem to presuppose that we've pinned the insect so we can count segments, etc. 01:45:52 Lisa Robinson: You can put your data into a regular spreadsheet and use the feature to make labels to pull out specific column entries and make all the labels from the data instead of reading 4 point type afterward to get the data. 01:46:09 Michael Williams: This is a perfect point to discuss photography techniques 01:46:47 Denise Ellsworth: We will launch a beginning bee ID course led by author/biologist Olivia Carril in January 2022. Everyone here will receive notice when enrollment opens! 01:47:08 Michael Williams: great! 01:47:19 Donna Thomas: This episode does not fit in the amateur status like the other episodes did. I am not sure I belong here anymore if they continue assuming I am following this!!!! 01:47:20 Andrea DeMayo-Clancy: I am not sure I will get to use this information, but I find the whole process very interesting. Thank you! 01:47:20 Susan May: The link you gave for the label is to his movies of bee id. I would love a link to the labels in particular if possible, thanks! 01:47:23 Marek Stanton: Yes, There are places that you can send bee specimens. If you were in the Northwest, particularly OR, you could be part of the Oregon Bee Atlas that uses citizens to collect bees (with training through a module on the methods). Hi Lisa 01:47:31 SherryAnn Cordover: I’ve heard there is non-lethal DNA survey possible. I appreciate the answer of numbers of bees vs how many are killed but how effective is the non-lethal route? 01:47:55 Marek Stanton: There are also places in the East, I just have focused on the west as that is where I live. 01:47:57 Beth Whitaker: Where I am in Wisconsin we are doing photographic surveys of bumblebees (Wisconsin Bumblebee Brigade) and there is a new survey of all bees (WiBee) that is also photo based. I don't anticipate collecting and killing bees, so this is interesting but not relevant to my volunteer work. We are fortunate to be in an "affinis area". 01:48:03 Denise Ellsworth: Sorry! Label link here.l..scroll down http://faculty.elmira.edu/dkjar/ 01:48:22 Bob Allen: LOL! I just bought that Ikea lamp this week! 01:48:24 Nash Turley: I've found these sewing machine lights are great for lighting specimens under a scope https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07G2ZQN1B/ref=sspa_dk_detail_0?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B07G2ZQN1B&pd_rd_w=QtLGN&pf_rd_p=5d846283-ed3e-4512-a744-a30f97c5d738&pd_rd_wg=JXJ2S&pf_rd_r=N1EE9T53J8R5M6N51A6B&pd_rd_r=3b36f426-23c7-490a-b966-5245a4805193&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExUU9UTlQyVzFOWUdKJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNjE0NTQ0NzExM0YySUgwWTJQJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA4MDc5MTcxVjlMRExNRlcyU0cwJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfZGV0YWlsX3RoZW1hdGljJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ== 01:48:42 susann moeller: love the tricks of the trade!!!! 01:49:07 Bob Allen: Wow, Nash, that looks like a great llight 01:49:16 Andrea DeMayo-Clancy: You can get sewing lights with a 50% off coupon at Joanns too 01:49:41 Susan May: That label link doesn't take me to a place that has any information....it is blank, lol! 01:49:52 Bob Allen: Joann’s 👍🏻 01:50:04 John Welty: Sam, You are like us beekeepers...always rigging things! lol 01:50:13 Susan McFaul: I love the "behind the scenes" looking into the lab! 01:50:17 Nyra Phillips: Does anyone know if there are any bumble bee surveys in Iowa? 01:50:19 Allyson Dather: yes more bts 01:50:20 Martha Gach: Whether or not you're IDing species, it is fascinating to look at them under a scope. You get a real appreciation for the beauty and intricate structure of the bees. 01:50:21 Laura Langlois Zurro: I manage the Florida Native Bees fb group. there are often questions about why researchers need to collect bees. Sam’s explanations will be very helpful. And for people getting upset about lethal methods, you can simply fo what I do and take away methods that can be used for non lethal macro photography. 01:50:24 Laura Kimberly: While I am most interested in photographing to, I find this has been useful to understand the process necessary for more precise study. Also useful hints on use of nets for catch and release— just to get a close look in a Petri dish 01:50:34 Cindy Opitz: will you address the questions in the Q&A? 01:50:40 David Jennings: This was great and so useful! thank you Sam! 01:50:40 Clifford Stein: how do you prevent other bugs from getting into your specimen boxes? moth balls? 01:51:00 tracy: Thank you for the great presentation. 01:51:01 Catherine Gunn: I liked the bee collection box that we got form the VPS class at OSU… 01:51:16 Ron Butler: Sam - great tips here! Many thanks. Really enjoying the ID'ing bees through the scope series too. 01:51:20 Marek Stanton: You can stick your boxes into large plastic bages 01:51:21 Elaine Robinson: I agree with you Martha. 01:51:29 Adrian Juncosa: For anyone near enough to a university, many of them have surplus property websites where used microscopes can be found, both “student” ones from lab classes, and sometimes fully research worthy ones, fluorescence ‘scopes, everything. 01:51:30 marcyloomis: Thank you for doing this series. 01:52:04 ann lindberg: SO very enjoyable!! Thank you Sam and Denise!!!! 01:52:07 Nash Turley: these screen lids for mason jars work good for drying https://amzn.to/3AlR7qD 01:52:17 Denise Ellsworth: Labels on page 15: http://bio2.elmira.edu/fieldbio/beemanual.pdf 01:52:31 Kim Landsbergen: This has been so very helpful, thank you very much Sam and Denise! 01:52:38 Mary Hanaway: Wonderful presentation!! So informative. 01:52:59 Laura Kimberly: Thanks for info. On to the next webinar. 01:53:03 Karen Durniat-Suehrstedt: Thank you! 01:53:05 Lisa Robinson: Freezers now cycle. OBA person discovered you need 14 days to kill dermestids unless you get a box freezer that you would need to defrost old style, then 3 days is all you need. 01:53:11 Jane Egan: Thank-you! Comprehensive! 01:53:19 Toni Borge: Thank you. 01:53:22 Catherine Gunn: Great talk…love seeing the lab! 01:53:22 Laura Langlois Zurro: thank you so much Sam and Denise 01:53:55 Susan May: Thanks, Denise! I finally got to the labels. I appreciate your patience and perseverance :) 01:53:57 Scott Jost: Can he quickly talk about his photo setup? 01:54:18 Marek Stanton: Who was that? Lincoln Best or some other person? 01:54:19 Elaine Robinson: Love the “live” presentation. Better than slides. Great tips and tricks. Thank you Sam. 01:54:21 Lisa Robinson: Bees can wake up even after 20 minutes in ethyl acetate too. 01:54:26 Shelly McClain: Thank you for an interesting and informative presentation. 01:54:45 Beth Umberger: This video was very informative and reminded me of my days picking aquatic insects. Now I can explain to others how complicated bee identification is. 01:54:54 Andrea DeMayo-Clancy: Many thanks! 01:54:58 Tanya Accone: Thank you Sam! 01:54:59 Julia Hungerford: This was really great. Fascinating to see all the tips from the years of experience. Excellent job condensing all that info into the time! 01:55:01 Nancy Navarre: Thank you San! 01:55:01 Scott Jost: Thanks Sam! 01:55:03 Bob Allen: Great job, Sam! Thank you! 01:55:03 Theresa Zelazny: Thank you Sam! Very useful information 01:55:03 Susan McMann: Thank-You! 01:55:05 Susan McFaul: This was excellent -- thank you!! 01:55:06 Kathleen Jones: THANK YOU, Sam! 01:55:07 Nikki Coben: Mahalo!🤙🏼 01:55:07 Patty Milligan: Thank you. This answered many questions for me! 01:55:08 Susan Sunflower: brilliant, as usual! thanks!! 01:55:08 Lindsay Carpenter: Thanks so much! 01:55:08 Clifford Stein: Yes, thank you Sam!!! 01:55:10 Abbye Carsten: thank you Sam amazing info 01:55:10 Sara Yosua: should we send specimens to USGS ? what if they're just common bees ? 01:55:11 margie szymanskyj: I found this "behind the scenes" presentation very interesting. I enjoyed it immensely. 01:55:12 Sara Witt: Thank you!! 01:55:12 John Welty: Great presentation. Thank you for your dedication!! 01:55:13 Kathy Beaty: Thank you! I loved the show and tell of equipment that works! 01:55:13 Heidi Hill: Thanks so much! This was really interesting! 01:55:14 Sara Scudier: Very informative. Thanks so much! 01:55:15 Helen Koch: That was wonderful, truly. Thank you. 01:55:16 Laura Bunton: Fantastic lecture as always! 01:55:17 B Tryon: thank you! This has been very informative. 01:55:17 Jim Niva: Great!!! Thank You!!! 01:55:17 Wendy Hall: Where is your lab, Sam? 01:55:18 Douglas Gruenau: Thanks Sam for the presentation! 01:55:18 Amy Weinstein: So detailed and interesting. Thank you Sam. 01:55:18 Glenn Kaminski: Great job Sam, thanks 01:55:19 Tamra Reall: Thank you so much. Excellent information. 01:55:19 Susan Tucker: Thank you. So interesting. 01:55:20 Donna Nelson: Thank you! Really interesting! 01:55:22 Jill Auburn: Thank you! 01:55:23 MARTINA BRUNO: Fabulous, thank you Sam! 01:55:23 Constance Roth: Super helpful! 01:55:24 Jane Schnell: Thank you . This was great. 01:55:25 Dr. Miranda's Place: Very interesting, thanks so much ! 01:55:26 Janet Ankney: Thank you very much for this information! 01:55:26 Jeffrey Michals-Brown: Thank you, Sam! 01:55:26 Patricia Dutton: Thank you Sam. Great information. 01:55:27 Susan Villarreal: Loved this! Thanks! 01:55:30 Julie D'Ablaing: Thank you Sam and Denise - great presentation 01:55:31 Marie Delahaye: Thanks so much! 01:55:31 Betsy Triplett-Hurt: Wow.
