If you're near me, great, my carrier is open to all at the moment, but I'm not going to go find you...

I haven't found any Platinum hot spots yet, but I did find a ring with 3 LTDs and another ring in an adjacent system with overlapping Tritium.
There's a lovely one here where I am in the Norma Arm. But that's a heck of a journey for just some mining
It's been nice for me, though. My little bubble of explored systems is getting bigger and bigger, and it's nice to take a break and do some mining now and then.
I like to switch up roles frequently, unless I'm having an extended go at something in particular (which is usually combat related), as it keeps the game fresh. Speaking of which, I've realized recently that I haven't done any passenger missions in Ody yet...There's a lovely one here where I am in the Norma Arm.

Adjusting to mining while flying left handed with a mouse is goign to be interesting...
But then I'd probably fly way off course (I've done that before) as I alt-tab out to do reading and posting as I travel.
At any rate, I can't find out what I'm supposed to do with the exobiology data. I've read I'm supposed to sell it to Vista Genomics, but I can't find out where that is on any site.
In any station or planetary port - it is a shop on the concourse, lots of signs - just wander in through the glowing frontage and chat with the serf behind the counter.
I'm in a large orbital station. There's nothing here like that.
Find the room with the blue curtain and walk through it...
How? What do I click on?
Which station are you at?
Well, today it was methane atmospheres and an odd sort of Fonticula I hadn't seen before -- Fonticula Digitos. I've seen similar ones, but not this particular variety.
I took a look at my Codex just to see what sort of stats I have. I don't usually bother to keep track.
There's nothing noteworthy in my stats, really. Lots of folks do more than I do. I just putter along at my own pace though, and enjoy the process.
I've visited 8,035 systems, walked on 380 planets, and have 220 first footfalls. I have a long ways to go for Elite in Exobiology, for sure
Here they are though, if you're interested:

Garay Terminal in Deciat. I've been to 4 different bases and there's nothing on the menu that says Vista Genomics. Is it in the contacts list somewhere? What am I missing?
Nothing. Just walk in and talk to the person behind the desk. The "curtain" is just visual, you can walk right through it.
So I have to disembark?
No wonder I can't find it. I figured it would be in the base menu like every other service in the entire game.
Should be there, then. Inara lists it has having a Vista Genomics.

Yes, you have to disembark. Also true for all of the on-foot mission terminals in the concourse. Walking is required
When you get to the top of the stairs by the three terminals turn 90 degrees right and walk in between Frontline Solutions (on the right) and Inter Astra (on the left).
Edit: Oh, Ninja'd
If someone had told me that from the outset I would have gotten it.
I didn't even know I could do that at bases. I thought it was a carrier thing only.
I'm there now. Thanks.
@Marvin the Martian: As well as Frontline Solutions, Apex Interstellar and Pioneer Supplies which also do not appear in the main station menu...Yes, you have to disembark. Also true for all of the on-foot mission terminals in the concourse. Walking is required
