Friends - an update on the current status of the internet conference on
integrated bio-systems.  For all those who may be interested (and not yet
participating), please contact Dr. "Jacky" Foo at his e-mail address for
additional information.  I know there are several of you on this list that
will benefit from participation in these discussions.  We've found Jacky to
be a very effective organizer of relevant information on subjects concerning
several of the discussions that have appeared on this (these) lists.  I find
it very interesting that the primary subject areas of each list so closely
mesh with those from the other lists, but perhaps that is just my late night
perception. Paula Speraneo
