Purpose of group

[dana ann dudle]

Dear Ed,

Do your students have access to newsgroups?  If so, you may want to tell 
them about this group and allow them to decide what is appropriate.  I am 
not trying to be rude, but I think that young women who are going to be 
entering science would benefit from the thoughtful and insightful 
discussion that goes on here.  I do, at any rate.  However, I realize 
that some students (particularly in high school) do not have Internet 
connections.  There are newsgroups that post information about jobs in 
biology, although they are not strictly for women.

Cheers,
Dana Dudle
