There is a women in science and engineering group - WISENET, which can be
subscribed to at:

LISTSERV at UICVM.CC.UIC.EDU

by writing

SUBscribe WISENET <full_name>

(I have noticed many familiar names in women in bio -  I think that there
is a lot of overlap already, and this may bear some discussiontoo?)

BTW, does anyone know if women in biology can be recieved as a digest?  I'm
being overwhelmed by the current flow, and find that the digests in my
other lists help a great deal.
