Well said;

When I first joined this forum the archives were not as massive as they are
now; and it may be a bit trying for new people to find relevant
information. I have however noticed that when experienced flowers inquire
about educational material for in-house courses they are pointed in the
right direction.  So I think that's what we should also be doing for
flowers lacking in basic FC education. Loads of institutes - at least on
this side of the Atlantic - do not have core facilities and people are
thrown in at the deep end. Too often institutes refuse to invest in FC
courses for their techs/scientists: but so what; e.g. J.Leary's website and
the Purdue website have excellent educational material for free. We should
advertise this more and build on it.

all the best for Christmas and the New Year to you all

Ann
