         FACULTY POSITION AVAILABLE

            POPULATION BIOLOGIST

   University of Massachusetts at Boston

Population Biologist.   The Biology Department of the 
University of Massachusetts at Boston invites 
applications for a tenure-track position 
(assistant professor level) in population 
dynamics or systematics.  Applicants in population 
dynamics should have research expertise in demographic or 
genetic models of populations, metapopulations, host-
pathogen interactions or plant-herbivore systems.  
Applicants in systematics should have research expertise in 
the application of molecular and/or quantitative approaches 
to systematic problems. We are especially interested in 
candidates with interests in environmental issues such as 
conservation and biodiversity.  We seek candidates with 
strong research credentials, including ability to attract 
extramural funding.  In addition to basic research, duties 
will include teaching an advanced course in the area of 
specialization for the new doctoral track in Environmental 
Biology and contributing to established undergraduate 
courses that deal with topics in population biology.  Post-
doctoral experience preferred.  Submit Curriculum Vitae, 
statements of interests and goals in research and teaching, 
and three letters of recommendation to:  Biology Search 
Committee, Department of Biology, University of 
Massachusetts at Boston, 100 Morrissey Boulevard, 
Boston MA 02125-3393. Preference will be given to 
applications received by January 30, 1993.

I think this is NOT a group FOR the XXs, it is one that addresses issues 
that XXs face.  But my experience with a women's group when I was a grad
student suggested that there are a lot of problems that women face in science
that trouble men as well, and a lot of men arent happy with the way 
women are treated either.  We need to work together to change things, XXs and
XYs.

just my tuppence.

***FUNDING OPPORTUNITY***

Research Expeditions International is accepting applications for
funding for research projects scheduled for 1994.

Research Expeditions International specializes in Participatory
Research, in which well-educated lay people provide funding and
volunteer as the on-site work force. Studies best suited for
Participatory Research involve data collection or unskilled labor
which is easily taught to one or several groups of adults.
Preference will be given to studies in the following areas: animal
behavior; archaeological excavation; and tourist impact on culture,
economy and ecology. Studies in other fields will certainly be
considered if appropriate.

Applications for the 1994 season are due February 1, 1993.

Women are encouraged to apply (in fact you'll be greeted with joy
and enthusiasm).

Subject: getting a PhD or not
Organization: DSG, Stanford University, CA 94305, USA
Date: Tue, 22 Dec 92 23:20:47 GMT

I've got to echo what other people have said about that PhD being a
legitimizing degree.  You've already put 4 years into it, if you can
force yourself through another year or two, you'll save yourself a lot
of time and trouble later if you realize that you really did want a
PhD.

That said, let me make a suggestion.

When your advisor tells you to get a new career, get a new advisor.
Two years ago, I was miserable and unhappy and seriously considering
punting my own science career because I was having such problems with
my advisor.  Personality conflicts are very real, and they can make
even the most fascinating work horrible.  I worked very hard on
choosing a new lab where I was not only interested in the science, but
also confident that I would get along well with the PI.  Don't let one
bad apple ruin your life -- there are probably plenty of other PIs
around who would be thrilled to have someone with the skills you have
undoubtedly built up over the past four years, and with whom you would
enjoy the cooperative effort and build a productive, pleasant
relationship.

I wrote an article for my program's grad student handbook on how to
choose an advisor, based on my experience and the various stories I
heard from the grapevine.  If people would like, I'd be happy to post
it.

I would describe myself as buzz did in her first paragraph.  One thing I
have noticed about public women's discussion groups is that men 
tend to clog the threads with their interests.  Notably abortion.
I read some of the biology discussion groups because I am a sys admin
working for the Center for Biomedical Research of The Population Council.
I used to subscribe to the Pascal discussion group but I got tired of
all the people asking others to do their Pascal programming homework.
I read all the Sun discussions because that relates to my work.
I read the chess news because I play chess.  I read the Microsoft
discussions because I have a home computer.  I subscribe to the
Visual Basic group.
I log onto several BBS in the NYC area for chitchat on computers,
movies, current events.  I try to participate in women's discussion
group on a BBS but as I indicated above the men tend to fill it with
their blabber.

I repost the following from bionet.plants, as I got only two answers, both of
them very useful, but I hope somebody else could have more information.
Does anyone know where could I find information, mostly pictures or diagrams,
about the anatomy and citology of tobacco seeds? I am going to test GUS
expression directed by a barley seed-specific promoter in transgenic tobacco
plants and I would like knowing more about this organ before starting. My main
concern is being able to recognize in microscope preparations the different
tissues of tobacco seed during several developmental stages.
Thank you for your answers.

I had no luck trying a couple of sources but the closest I got was
with netfind.  You might want to try either

postmaster@huracan.cr

or

system@huracan.cr

for starters.  This was the only host name that I could dig up for
Costa Rica and netfind gave the following on it:

The domain 'huracan.cr' does not run its own name servers,

On UNIX systems, there is a program called "nslookup".  If you
use it, then you can get the IP address of any valid address.
Try "man nslookup" for more information.
