Pollen analysis cost?

I'm a masters student at Boise State University. I'm doing a cost proposal for a made up project and for my fake project I need to send off pollen for analysis. Does anyone know how much this analysis costs?

I Need Help in Explaining Start/Stop in Laymen's Terms to Small Museum Board

I volunteer at a small museum, and they are interested in purchasing Start/Stop software to work with their oral histories. (I do not think they have these histories on audio file- they were on cassette.)

I used Start/Stop a few years ago for a graduate school project, so I'm familiar with it, but I'm having trouble putting the use and purpose of it in laymen's terms. I tried the website, but it seemed really clunky and convoluted. Does anyone have any videos/writing that simplify and show the usage of Start/Stop? The videos I looked at that were part of the company just seemed weird and clunky.

Negative Feedback on Museum Studies Degree - what says reddit?

I'm completing an undergraduate program and looking into graduate programs. However, I am encountering some negative feedback regarding Museum Studies degrees from a few professionals I have spoken with, and being encouraged to seek a traditional History degree instead. I know we get a lot of posts on "how to get into museum work," but having read much of the past threads it seems there's a more positive attitude towards museum studies degrees here. Is that the general consensus? My BA is in anthropology, I have a technical degree in Fashion Design, and I'm looking to specifically get into textile and fashion history. I'm just concerned that I not make any major mistakes regarding programs moving forward. Any pros/cons from the community here?
