School of Medicine Lines: 32 Message-ID: References: NNTP-Posting-Host: cellbio03.med.upenn.edu Thanks to everyone who replied to this posting. We have found laboratories that are willing to take the bottles and are working out the shipping details. We received many more replies than we expected so if other labs desire to "recycle' their glass bottles to other fly labs there are plenty of people out there willing to take them. I will reply to each of the labs that contacted us about the bottles to let them know moer about what is going on.
