We have recently merged the original newsgroup email list with an updated membership email listing from the Biophysical Society office to include as much of the membership as possible. The purpose of this newsgroup is for broadcasting Biophysical Society announcements and other Society related information. This is not a discussion newsgroup and participation in this newsgroup will not result in your email box being filled with excessive or non-Society related messages. Please be patient as we try to expand this communication system to reach a larger number of the members. Thank you for your cooperation. **************************************************************** Carol Gross cgross@biosci.cbs.umn.edu Biophysics Internet Coordinator 612-625-5262 (voice) University of Minnesota 612-625-5780 (fax) Department of Biochemistry **************************************************************** From owner-biophysics@net.bio.net Mon Oct 23 22:00:00 1995 Path: biosci!biosci!not-for-mail From: "Carol Gross" Newsgroups: bionet.prof-society.biophysics Subject: NIH Forms for Macintosh on the WWW Date: 23 Oct 1995 17:24:18 -0700 Organization: BIOSCI International Newsgroups for Molecular Biology Lines: 42 Sender: biohelp@net.bio.net Approved: bphyssoc-moderator@net.bio.net Distribution: world Message-ID: <199510201331.IAA29196@biosci.cbs.umn.edu> Reply-To: "Carol Gross" NNTP-Posting-Host: net.bio.net NIH grant forms (PHS 398) for Macintosh computers are now available on the WWW.

The Consensus conference is an effort to develop a common position for the 40,000+ FASEB members in the budget battle. The conference operates through subcommittees focusing in on federal funding agencies, and I'm on the DOE committee. Biophysicists have a particular interest in the maintenance of the DOE funded national laboratory facilities for structure analysis, data gathering, interpretation and dissemination. There have been a variety of proposals to downsize or dissassemble these facilities, including irreplaceable resources such as Brookhaven or Argonne. If any of you have cogent 1-3 paragraph arguments in support of DOE funded programs of importance to the Biophysics community, I would appreciate receiving them in the next two days (sorry about that). Or if you have a strong position on facilities that can be downsized with minimal loss to the research community. My own position is that this is a period in which we should be expanding the national laboratories which include a biomedical research mission, by transferring funds from the enormous budgets of the nuclear weapons labs. Unfortunately the political climate does not yet allow us to critique the large military component of the DOE budget; we are limited to scrambling for crumbs from the civilian portion. Hopefully this will change in the next (FY98) round of the federal budget debate. Jonathan King **PLEASE SEND ALL CORRESPONDENCE TO THE FOLLOWING EMAIL ADDRESS: jaking@mit.edu
