How long are these available for? I might like to sign up for one, but I don’t want to take an account from someone else who might use it more.
Do we usually use them all? I’ve been trying to do research on Atelopus barbotini and access to one of these might be useful, but I probably wouldn’t use it everyday.
Thank you,
Derric Atzrott
