I would like to make a couple of announcements: first of all, I want to mention that the Bio-Rad confocal division is now part of the Confocal User Net, and will be available for answering any questions and providing assistance. We feel this will be a very valuable way to communicate with the scientific community. Secondly, I would like to invite everybody to the Hospitality Suite during the Cell Biology convention for hors d'oeuvres and beverages. Where: Back Bay Hilton, Westminister Room When: Tuesday, December 10, 5:00-8:00 PM Host: Bio-Rad Microscience-Confocal Dept. Thanks. We hope to see many of you there. Jim Hayden & Ken Goodwill
