HELP US FIND OUR MISSING SPECIMENS

Acanthocephalan specimens from the Green Microscope Slides Box (marked with a ⭐ on the upper left) were last seen last May 5 in KA 102 during thesis room use. These slides are very important for students’ research, and we would greatly appreciate any information regarding their whereabouts.

If you may have seen, borrowed, or accidentally taken them, please send a message to:
• Zhandra Arguelles
• Meg Dullas
• Haulah Dayungan

📞 09122475122

We just sincerely hope to have them returned safely. Thank you for helping us out!
