Everyone,
On Feb 24, we will do an experimental demo (with food colors and the
spectrophotometer) at the Iniskim Future day on the 7th floor atrium in
Science Commons. Here is some more information on this day:

https://www.ulethbridge.ca/future-student/indigenous-future-students-day

We are scheduled for 1 hour from 11:00 am - 12:00 pm. We should be set up
30 minutes before the show. I will also try to get Jackson to join us and
do some other experiments and tours of the lab. This coming week I want to
go over the experiment with everyone and test everything to make sure it
works. Please decide on a time when you are all available. Ideally I would
like 4 people there, one to do tours of our lab, one to show students how
to use the pipette, one to load the cuvettes and do the rinsing, and one
who helps the students with the computer analysis. We should also have a
little board with the procedure explained at the table. Since we will be
setting up the spectrophotometer, a pipetting station, and a laptop
computer, I want to make sure we have everything tested and a cart
available to take it downstairs to floor 7 (Atrium).

Let me know what times work for all of you. I am going to be in Missoula on
the 23rd for Stephanie's seminar at U of Montana, but I will try my best to
be back in Lethbridge by 11.
-Borries
