Any restrictions? My own teaching schedule is very hectic from August until the first week of December. My schedule is quite variable other times of the year, but teachers can contact me because I am always willing to provide support and classroom visits, if my schedule permits.Can only provide instruction for growing plant materials.I have a limited culture collection of microorganisms, but am willing to provide selections from what I have with advance notice.Only limited numbers of simple media, with advance notice. Not in the summer.
