Frey), for use by the biological research community. *FASEB (The Federation of American Societies in Experimental Biology) is the largest coalition of life sciences societies in the United States, and represents over 42,000 biomedical and biological scientists. Charter and moderation policy: The purpose of the Newsgroup is to provide a means of easy communication among people doing research in or interested in electromagnetic field interactions with biological systems. It also provides the general biological community with a window into a field which has broad implications for biology. The Newsgroup is primarily for discussions among bioscientists. Lay people interested in hazards should contact the appropriate groups for such information such as the National EMR Alliance (212-554-4073). Those interested in arguing about hazards, which is a policy issue, have other forums where discussions of hazard policy issues are appropriate. The Newsgroup can be used for activities such as discussion of books, articles, methods and experiments. Theories can be debated and the validity of experiments and approaches can be discussed. Important new findings can be announced. Users can pose questions on techniques to be used in experiments and seek solutions for problems they have encountered in experiments. A preprint of a paper can be posted for comment before sending it in for publication or starting the next experiment. Journal editors and scientists can post papers or abstracts of papers accepted for publication or published papers. Announcements of funding for new programs and jobs can be posted. The newsgroup is moderated, but the bounds of the charter are loose. Only the clearly inappropriate messages as defined by the charter will not appear. The emf-bio newsgroup is a regular usenet group. You can access it when you read newsgroups. The first time type: get bionet.emf-bio After that it will appear as a newgroup (if there is news) whenever you read the newsgroups that you have subscribed to. If you only have email and can't read newsgroups, do the following: send a mail message to the Internet address biosci-server@net.bio.net Leave the Subject: line of the message blank and enter the following line into the body of the mail message: subscribe emf-bio This message will be automatically read by the computer and your e-mail address will be extracted from the mail header and added to the list.

Look in the directory pub/BIOSCI/EMF-BIO for posting archives. Each file is assigned a date such as 9312 for December 1993. Please note that ours is a UNIX system and all file and directory names are case-sensitive, i.e., upper case file names are different from lower case names. You can also access these same files via Gopher if you start a gopher session using net.bio.net as your gopher server. Gopher also allows you to view the individual messages within each monthly archive file. The files are in the EMF-BIO directory. WWW/Mosaic users can open the URL gopher://net.bio.net/. Postings to bionet.emf-bio are also WAIS indexed and can be searched via either gopher or WAIS at our site. In gopher the option at net.bio.net is "Search Bionet USENET Articles" and in WAIS one should use the WAIS source biosci.src. This is a WAIS index of all BIOSCI/bionet messages including this newsgroup. Please see the BIOSCI FAQ for details. The FAQ can be requested from biosci-help@net.bio.net. Canceling your subscription: ---------------------------- IF YOU ARE LOCATED IN EUROPE, AFRICA, OR CENTRAL ASIA: first be sure that you are sending mail from the address at which you signed up to receive news postings, and then send the command (in the body of your mail message) UNSUB bionet-news.bionet.emf-bio to MXT@dl.ac.uk. This message will be automatically read by the computer and your e-mail address will be extracted from the mail header and removed from the list. IF YOU ARE LOCATED IN THE AMERICAS OR THE PACIFIC RIM: send a message to biosci-server@net.bio.net Leave the Subject: line of the message blank and enter the following line into the body of the mail message: unsubscribe emf-bio in the body of the message. Please be sure to send the message from the account whose address matches the one on the list. If your address differs, we will be notified automatically and will remove you manually from the list if we can determine what was your old address. Please contact biosci-help@net.bio.net if you have problems. IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM: ---------------------- Please send a message to one of the following addresses depending upon your location Address Location ------- -------- biosci@daresbury.ac.uk Europe, Africa, and Central Asia biosci-help@net.bio.net Americas and the Pacific Rim and someone on the staff will help you. How to post a message to the group: ----------------------------------- If you use news, simply post a message into bionet.emf-bio. Be sure to set your "distribution" to either bionet or world or else the message might not leave your site!! To post by e-mail, mail your message to one of the following addresses depending upon your location: Posting Address Location --------------- -------- emf-bio@daresbury.ac.uk Europe, Africa, and Central Asia emf-bio@net.bio.net Americas and the Pacific Rim and your message will be distributed automatically to everyone on the list and the USENET newsgroup. There is no editorial intervention. PLEASE DO NOT SEND SUBSCRIPTION REQUESTS TO THE POSTING ADDRESSES as you will bother everyone on the newsgroup!!! How to reply to a message on the group: --------------------------------------- If you are using a newsreader, simply use the reply or follow-up command on your newsreader (these vary from program to program) to send either private or public replies. If you are using e-mail, replies to messages that you receive will *NOT* be automatically returned to the group. This is the standard for Internet mailing lists as opposed to BITNET LISTSERVs which often send all replies back to everyone. You must be certain that your reply contains either of the two newsgroup posting addresses above in your message header if you want to share it with everyone on the group. Otherwise in most cases your reply may go back to only the original poster of the message to which you are replying. ALWAYS be certain that you examine the address on your messages before you send them!!! Once a message is sent there is no way to cancel it or bring it back!!! Some non-Internet compliant mail systems may attempt to send replies to our error-trapping address called BIOSCI-REQUEST. If yours does this, please be sure to readdress your message to emf-bio@net.bio.net or emf-bio@daresbury.ac.uk if you want to send it to the newsgroup.
