Bio-Matrix News There is some good news to report about the Bio-Matrix project. * With the kind assistance of Ms. Ginger Richardson and Ms. Rhonda Butler-Vill of the Santa Fe Institute, a Bio-Matrix flier has been prepared and printed. We will be distributing these at any and all relevant scientific meetings. *** If you would like some to distribute to your department or office, or would be willing to take some to your next meeting(s), please contact Dan Davison at the address below. *** All forms of distribution are welcome! The flyer is a 8 1/2 x 11 in. page trifolded with a mail-back response form. The form can be used to request further information, join the Matrix Project, or get a copy of the Bio-Matrix workshop report. * Dr. Bob Bolender is organizing the Matrix Primer. The Primer is a document designed to introduce the Matrix concept. Individual chapters will deal with bio-informatics in general, as well as knowledge base, information retrieval, and artificial intelligence applications for the life scientist * In a separate posting, there is an announcement about a Master's program in bio-informatics just established at the George Mason University. The program can be entered through the Biology Department or the Computer Science Department. * Reminder: if you haven't sent in a listing for the MATRIX-LIST, please do. If you indicate, the listing will be placed on the archive-server. The idea of the MATRIX-LIST is to have a directory of people interested in bio-informatics, and to allow people with a problem to contact other Matrixers (Matrixen?) that are willing to help. If you need a form send the line send matrix matrix-form to the archive-server. If you would like to get the MATRIX-LIST, send the line send matrix matrix-list to the archive-server. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Requests to be added to the direct-distribution mailing list should be sent to BIO-MATRIX-REQUEST@BIONET-20.BIO.NET. (BITNET: BIO-MATRIX-REQUEST%BIONET-20.BIO.NET@CUNYVM) Submissions for the list are always encouraged, and should be sent to BIO-MATRIX@BIONET-20.BIO.NET (BITNET: BIO-MATRIX%BIONET-20.BIO.NET@CUNYVM) The BIO-MATRIX archive-server can be contacted from most networks and can reply to all known networks (no failures yet!). For info, send the line help to archive-server@genome.lanl.gov (internet), archive-server%genome.lanl.gov@CUNYVM (bitnet, EARN, IRLEARN) ...cmcl2!lanl!archive-server@genome.lanl.gov (UUCP) (JANET and JUNET can reach the server also, but I haven't figured out the proper path. Please check with your local mail wizard). ------------------------------------------------------------------- Dan Davison Bio-Matrix Project Communications dd@lanl.gov (internet), dd%lanl.gov@CUNYVM (BITNET), ...cmcl2!lanl!dd (uucp old style), dd@lanl.UUCP (new style) (*) (*) these mail addresses will change as of 1 September 1989 to davison@uh.edu (internet), davison@UHOU (bitnet), and the physical mail address to Department of Biochemical and Biophysical Sciences, University of Houston, 4800 Calhoun, Houston, Tx 77204-5500 USA.
