I've been reading and occasionally posting to this newsgroup since the
early 90's, when I was in grad school. It has continued to be helpful
to me through a frustrating postdoc experience, and I still keep my eye
on it while in my current job - business development in a biotech
company. And while I thought women were a minority in the upper levels
of academia, they are an even smaller minority in my current arena!
I've always enjoyed this newsgroup. It has been a bit slow lately, and
I've noticed the same with the WISENET listserv (although I haven't
checked that account out in a while). I wonder why.
Maybe it's time for all of us to introduce ourselves again? I'm sure
there are plenty of lurkers out there!
