This year we had 18 students; with five from outside UC Berkeley.

As always, we taught the accelerated microwave technique in addition to the traditional techniques.

The in situ hybridization experiment, using the radish RNA probe RT-2, worked great as usual. Ted Pella, Inc donated their Biowave Microwave Tissue Processing oven. Thank you Barbara Hobbs and Rick Gibberson!

We changed the contest this year. Now we have Best Animal Tissue prep and Best Plant Tissue prep. Here are the winners:
Best Plant Preparation went to Reijel Gardiner from New Zealand
Best Animal Preparation went to John Parker from UCB.

CONGRATULATIONS!
