Hello everyone!

I wanted to remind you about the *Insect Fair booth sign-up*! The deadline
is *Friday, February 6th (tomorrow)*, and it is a great opportunity to
share your research with the public! *Here is the link to the sign-up
spreadsheet
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15z-rGLYDBfA0kiCLK9h0stN-R7SKuicnRfd4_3U7S-w/edit?usp=sharing>.*
The details about the booths are in my previous email, and I would also be
happy to answer your questions.

All the best,
Veronica.
