An SL Biology Event-call for volunteers

I just received a note from a Biology professor who is asking for volunteers to help access from student projects in Second Life.

Dear Biologists-

Hi. I am teaching a nonscience majors biology class in Second Life this summer. I am having my students make a presentation board about an animal. Basically 3 static textures. I am going to grade the content, but I would like to have biology faculty come talk to them about it. You can also note that they seem to know what they are talking about and confirm that they did the work. In other words, if you can tell me whether they should pass/fail the assignment.

Preferably, I would like to have other university or college faculty with a background in biology. If you would like to volunteer, please send me a link to your faculty profile page.

The event will take place in SL on Tuesday July 20th from 12:40 to 1:40 CST (10:40 to 11:40 SLT). If you are interested in helping me out, please let me know. By July 15th. Location will be on the Louisiana Board of Regents Island (look in my profile).

Thank you.
