[Bionews] FW: Announcing the (electronic) availability of the recently released NRC report on Computing and Biology

Catalyzing Inquiry at the Interface of Computing and Biology

2005 Report of the National Research Council of the National Academies

This report by the Committee on Frontiers at the Interface of Computing
and Biology seeks to establish the intellectual legitimacy of a
fundamentally cross-disciplinary collaboration between biologists and
computer scientists. That is, while some universities are increasingly
favorable to research at the intersection, life science researchers at
other universities are strongly impeded in their efforts to
collaborate. This report addresses these impediments and describes some
strategies for overcoming them.


Regards,

Wilfred
