<font size=4><b>Join the Massachusetts Veterinary, Industry and Research
(VIR) Group<br>
<br>
</font></b><font size=3>A new group has formed here in Massachusetts that
will function as a local branch of the NSH VIR Committee entitled the
Massachusetts Veterinary, Industry and Research (VIR) Group. Its
purpose is to provide technical and scientific support to histologists
who work with animal tissues at various VIR Histology laboratories and
inspire technologists in these areas to actively participate in
continuing education programs. If you desire to meet other VIR
Histologists, learn new methods, and share your knowledge of VIR
histotechnology we would invite you to join. Simply fill out
an application to receive information on meetings and a directory of
members. We plan to meet 4 times/year, present VIR-applicable
methods-based seminars, establish a network among members, and construct
a web page with useful links and to answer questions. Contact Jason
Burill at
