  Chinese Biotechnology Internet Forum (CBIF) is a discussion list
  sponsored by CBNet (Chinese Biotechnology Network), a non-profit
  organization, and published by [email-masked]. Please see the end
  of this message for more information regarding CBIF.

                        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
	  friends, someone in your field that you may want to talk to, 
	  or some "insiders" who can provide you crucial information 
	  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.
