To get on the "NSH list", simply join NSH.

$40 a year is CHEAP, especially when you compare
it with the $100-300/year my husband has to pay
for each computer organization he belongs to.

Not only do you get the NSH newsletter (NSH in Action),
but also the Journal of Histotechnology, many materials
at a cheaper rate or free (great stuff for people
studying for the ASCP exams or who are supervisors),
cheaper rates for NSH Symposium, etc.

NSH Web site is at:

http://www.nsh.org

Anyone interested in tissue can join -
technicians, technologists, pathologists,
lab assistants, research, hospital, 
animal, plant, human, ASCP registered,
those just starting to study for the exam,
old timers, newbies, US citizens, people
from other countries, . . . in other words,
all of us!

By the way Tim -

Enjoined the Best of Histonet in the
last issue. Keep it up. I think it's 
a great way to let people know about this
wonderfully useful Histonet service.
