[bionet.general] COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGY AND MEDICINE GROUP

mwitten@ut-emx.cc.utexas.edu (matthew witten) (01/25/91)

It was recently requested that a newsgroup be initiated to cover
computational biology and related issues. I would point out that
I started such a newsgroup at the LISTSERV - LIFESCI. 

I have also initiated the processes to begin such a newsgroup under
usenet. 

The newsgroup is interested in the use of computational and mathematical
modeling and simulation in the life sciences and medicine. In fact, I am
completing a book on Computational Issues In The Life Sciences and Medicine and
am looking for papers/reprints/preprints/pictures on the subject, with
particular
reference to high performance computing and modeling. 

If you are interested in this area, please send me a short e-mail with the
following questions answered:

Matthew,

        I have responded to the poster of the original message to
detrmine if he wants us to call for a vote for such a newsgroup to be
part of BIOSCI.  You have a group and he was talking about starting a
mailing list as well.  We mght be able to better coordinate things if
the demand is there.

                                Sincerely,

                                Dave Kristofferson
