Hi All,

I received my packet from Dr, Michael D. Shapiro, PHD at The University of Utah today. This is a study that may turn out to be the ground work for something that should have been taking place a long time ago.

If you are not yet involved please make the time to get involved. All they are asking for is samples (feathers) from your birds so that DNA can be extracted for their study. If you would like to help with this study it will cost you nothing but a little time as included in the packet is postage for covering the samples being mailed back to Dr. Shapiro.

If you would like to read up a little more about molecular genetics please visit the following websites.

This study is important to all of us. How important is yet to be determined but it is important.

If you are not yet waiting for your packet or received yours please contact Elissa Mulroy, Undergraduate Researcher, at elissa.mulroy@utah.edu and she will supply you with all you need to help.

Thanks in advance on behalf of The NPA for taking the time to be involved!!
