[Cz-biology] Gene articles, and new biologists arriving

[Daniel Mietchen]

Hi Larry,
I think it is the right time to start banging the drums among biologists.
However, I noticed that more than half of the students of my summer course
had problems with their registration, and I do not think they are much less
computer-literate than the biologists we wish to join us.
Please give this some more thoughts before you launch the calls for
participation.
Thanks,
Daniel
