Thanks for the update here.  Is there some sort of political thing here?  Why
is the Texas lab having trouble filling its two slots?  Besides the obvious,
they really like Tuscon-is there any other reason why the scientists from Az
do not wish to move to Texas?  Some of these questions may be too
personal/private and I'll understand if they don't get answered.  I think it
would be great to work in the bee labs-anywhere.  Wonder if they need a
chemist.

Thanks
