[NAGDU] Lab in the lab

[Nancy VanderBrink]

Thank you for your email, that was very helpful. This is the response I got from the professor. 

"I'll bring a blanket for Doc to sit/lay on because the floors aren't trustworthy (I wouldn't take a nap on them). The only serious risk to Doc is glass on the floors. I'll be there today and give them an extra sweep."

You made me feel a lot better with your information, thank you.
