I have found many places where the subject of biology is dealt with i.e. MEDLINE, GENBANK, MEDLARS but nothing pertaining to aging specificly. If I do not have a reply in a few days I will assume that an aging WWW site does not exist, and at that time I will post another news article which will ask to have one set up by someone.

Today it is possible for someone doing research on the other side of the planet to find out what you are doing in your lab today and not 4 months from today. As time is rather important, I thought that we should establish a WWW ( World Wide Web ) site that is dedicated to the dissemination of knowledge with regards to the aging process and efforts that could lead to a way of stopping the process altogether. I believe that the WWW is the best medium for creating an environment where people in the field of aging can share information in many formats ( Text, pictures, sound, hypertext and video). I imagine a system that would have links to labs around the world that are involved in the field. Each lab would have it's own WWW HOME PAGE that would give a short history of the lab, who are the people that work at the lab ( maybe everyone in the lab could have there own HOME PAGE so that the world could get to know what there thoughts are on the subject), a picture of the lab, the papers that have been written their, what is currently being done, and links to other lab that are doing similar research. I would like to ask everyone who reads this to send me your suggestions on this subject and also post your responses to this news group. If there are people who do not know what the World Wide Web is I suggest that they ask to see it in action, so talk to someone in your computer department and ask them to give you a demonstration. If you can not find anyone who knows anything about it, I would be pleased to send you some information.

I would like it, but who has the time to program the www to discuss their research? Why would it be better than this? The experience I have in my more competitive field is that some researchers are reluctant to discuss work until they have completed a paper. There are some good reasons for this, one of which is the problem of idea theft. I like the old fashioned library system myself. Conferences are fine too.

My discussions on the bulletin board so far have been fruitful and I am very happy to contribute my own thoughts. One of the outcomes that I now think is within our grasp is the prevention of aging of cells in culture. Such an achievement would make available material for transplantation that was not previously possible. It is also my belief that this achievement will be incremental. One substance on its own will probably not be sufficient to completely prevent aging. I suggest that only a collaboration will bear fruit within a reasonable time. Of course it would mean that I would have to learn to use WWW.

I just wanted to contribute my support to this... I think it is the direction things will go over the next few years. Someone voiced concerns over "idea theft" and the fear to print something that has not yet been published. Unfortunately for science, this is probably a real fear. Anyone have any thoughts on this, or how this problem might be dealt with on WWW? What exactly WOULD the advantages be for WWW over this newsgroup? Graphics? Searching for labs in a particular field? More permanent catalogging of "posts"? Easier to search for current information on specific subjects? Are these correct? What more?

If you have not yet listed yourself in our BIOSCI user directory, please take a few minutes to complete and return the form below. If your personal information has changed since you listed yourself, please send us a complete new updated form. We can not make manual revisions to existing entries. Sincerely, Dave Kristofferson BIOSCI/bionet Manager biosci-help@net.bio.net **** How to cancel a BIOSCI e-mail subscription **** If you want to cancel your e-mail subscription to this group, PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR UNSUBSCRIBE REQUEST TO THE NEWSGROUP ADDRESS (NOR REPLY TO A MESSAGE POSTED TO THE NEWSGROUP)!!! This would send your request to all of the readers of the newsgroup, but it might still not be seen by the BIOSCI staff - thus you would annoy many people and possibly not accomplish your goal anyway. IF YOU ARE LOCATED IN THE AMERICAS OR PACIFIC RIM COUNTRIES, please send a message to biosci@net.bio.net Instructions will be returned automatically, so the contents of your message do not matter. IF YOU ARE LOCATED IN EUROPE, AFRICA OR CENTRAL ASIA, please send a message to MXT@dl.ac.uk containing the word help in the body of the message to retrieve e-mail server instructions. Any text placed on the Subject: line of your message will be ignored, so be sure to put the "help" command in the body of the message. If you need personal assistance, a BIOSCI staff member can be contacted at either of the following addresses. Please contact the address designated for your location. Support Address Location --------------- -------- biosci@daresbury.ac.uk Europe, Africa, and Central Asia biosci-help@net.bio.net Americas and the Pacific Rim **** SEARCHING BIOSCI ARCHIVES **** The easiest way to search the BIOSCI archives is to use gopher software and connect over the Internet to net.bio.net, the U.S. BIOSCI computer. We maintain three indexes which are searchable from the main gopher menu on net.bio.net: (1) an index of all BIOSCI postings; (2) an index of individual journal article references from the Table of Contents postings on the BIO-JOURNALS newsgroup; and (3) an index of BIOSCI users including regular mail and e-mail addresses, phone/FAX numbers, research interests, and newsgroup participation. E-mail users can search the BIOSCI archives by using our waismail e-mail server. For instructions send the message help to waismail@net.bio.net. Leave the Subject: line blank (anything entered on the Subject: line is ignored). WAIS software can also be used to search the archives as described in the BIOSCI FAQ (see below). Finally, the BIOSCI archive files are accessible by anonymous FTP to net.bio.net [134.172.2.69] in the directory pub/BIOSCI. **** BIOSCI FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ) SHEET **** New users of BIOSCI/bionet may want to read the "Frequently Asked Questions" or "FAQ" sheet for BIOSCI. The FAQ provides details on how to participate in these forums and is available for anonymous FTP from net.bio.net [134.172.2.69] in pub/BIOSCI/doc/biosci.FAQ or for retrieval by gopher to net.bio.net, port 70. It may also be requested by sending the command info faq in the body of an e-mail message to the Internet address biosci-server@net.bio.net. Please do not enter the info faq command on the Subject: line of your message since the e-mail server ignores text on the Subject: line. The FAQ is also posted on the first of each month to the newsgroup BIONEWS/bionet.announce immediately following the posting of the BIOSCI information sheet. **** BIOSCI USER ADDRESS DIRECTORY **** Please take this opportunity to add your name and address information to the BIOSCI User Address Database if you have not already done so. Below is the address form that we would like each reader of the BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups to complete and return if you would like to be listed in our database. The database serves as a directory that enables biologists, who are currently using (or even just reading) the BIOSCI newsgroups, to look up e-mail addresses and other information about our users. The address database is reindexed nightly for WAIS, waismail, and gopher access. If you have access to gopher, connect to net.bio.net to search the database. If you have access to WAIS, please use our WAIS source biologists-addresses.src. If you are not on the Internet, please use our waismail server (send the word "help" to waismail@net.bio.net to get instructions; any text on the Subject: line of your message will be ignored, so put the help command in the body of the mail message.). Please carefully follow the instructions for completing the form below and return it to either of the following two addresses (whichever is more convenient for you). Thanks in advance for taking the time to complete and return the form. Addresses for returning forms Location Network ----------------------------- -------- ------- biovote@net.bio.net U.S.A.
