First Announcement Hello, welcome to the Chinese Biotechnology Network! The Chinese Biotechnology Network (abbreviated as CB-Net) is registered as a non-profit organization with a purpose to serve YOU, if you are in the fields of biological, chemical or medical sciences, or if you simply have the interest to hear us and to talk to us. By doing so, YOU become US. How do we serve us, including you? Well, you've heard of the CB-Net now, and you figure there are more people know us just like you. Everyone carries a unique set of information. If we share, we'd all become richer in our info possession. You offer your share because you need someone else's at some time. To rephrase the famous Confucian notion, you better do it to the others if you want the same done to you. A frequent truth, WHAT WE WANT IS AMONG US. In addition to sharing information, we communicate to inspire each others, to synergize our efforts, and to form a unity with more powerful voices. The Net is internet-based, and E-mail circulation is our primary activity at this stage. We will have: * regular briefing on advances in related fields * R&D news and articles * member input and communication * forum, discussions * special reports * survey: opinions, product quality, prices => recommendations * experiment key and protocol recommendation * Q & A We also plan to install databases such as: * personnel database: You'll be able to locate your old º friends, someone in your field that you may want to talk to, º or some "insiders" who can provide you crucial information º of the institutions in your post-doc position list. * job database: with location index, for instance, so you can find something in your dream city. * CBIF archive: if you miss any issue that you have deleted, just login and search through the master copy that we keep. To deserve these privileges, please participate, which means to provide your personal file (form enclosed) so that your college roommate can search for you; to contribute job ad if you know any. Not much to give for the vast resources you are offered, isn't it? At certain stage, we will organize more activities to promote direct member interactions and plant collaboration seeds. We shall mobilize our collective strength and speak for any or all of us in case of need. Our net has no limit. It will reach our colleagues in other continents, certainly and notably, the land that we are from, which is hailed as a land of economic miracle and boom. Opportunities? we'll see. We have more ways to serve and empower ourselves. Wake up, join us, let us be proud of ourselves for taking this step. ============================== FORM BEGIN =================================== To join, simply follow this, 1.
