Laminated poster board applied over the foam via adhesive compound would also work well. You could also write on it with dry-erase! Might be more expensive and less permanent, but a heck of a lot easier and good for at least 5-10 years.

Exactly. The only reason to do this is for the professional look. Otherwise, it would be more practical to just do boredatwork's duct-tape mod as described a couple posts up.

Yes. One musn't deal in absolutes. Especially when discussing biology. I value your input and thank you. My organismic biology professor mentioned the same thing when discussing evolution and mentioned the increased mutation rates of E. coli. Mutation rates are suggested to be higher in a...
