SUBJECT:  Centralized Biosciences Website

As many of you are aware, UCSD has a centralized Biosciences Website for the General Campus, School of Medicine, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, and the San Diego Supercomputer Center, with links to the surrounding research institutes. The site is designed primarily as a recruitment tool for graduate students but should also prove to be helpful in recruiting new faculty, and in helping new and current faculty become aware of the resources and potential collaborations offered by UCSD.

Since the site was first established, new faculty have arrived who may not know of the Website and who should be included. In addition, faculty already listed may now want to be included in other areas of research, or their Web addresses may have changed in the past year. I would like to ask each of you to take a few minutes to review the Website and then let Jane Weber (jweber@ucsd.edu) know under which Areas of Research you would like to be included. Also, please give her your personal URL (Web address) or your email address whichever you prefer to be used. The public will be able to access this information directly from the Biosciences Website. Many of you will of course go into several areas. The address for the site is:

http://biosciences.sdsc.edu/

Please send your information to Jane Weber at jweber@ucsd.edu or you may call her at 44786. Please do not send the information to my office. Any comments or suggestions you may have to improve the site will be most welcome.

Thank you.
