Managing prep lab data

[ekrimmel]

What is your idea for a happy hour topic?

How are we recording the history of a specimen before it makes it into the collection (preparation)? And/or how are we recording if a specimen is repaired, prepped further, etc. after curation (conservation)?

Who could be involved in leading this happy hour?

Carrie Levitt-Bussian?

Are there any timing considerations?

[add text here - e.g. needs to happen before xyz conference, after field season, ASAP, etc.]

Next steps
