It seems that "life scientists" are really beginning to get organised
on the network. I offer the following note for your general information.

                             Introduction
                              18 Jan 1988

    LifeSci is short for 'The Life Science Research Server' and is a
dedicated computer program developed at the Rappaport Institute and
running on the main computer at Technion, Israel (RPRLSCI@TECHNION.BITNET).
   It's purpose is to enhance communication and research among people
in the life related fields (medicine, physiology, psychology, social
work etc..) who work far from each other and can benefit forming
international work groups and 'Think-Tank' with their colleagues.
  The audience LifeSci was written for know little about computers and
are too busy to learn, they want simple access without having to
bother with the internal works of the system.

                    General description
                    -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

      o DIGEST server
        Digests are computerized magazines, they do not appear in paper
form but exist as electronic media. A group of people interested in a common
topic can create their own little paper, its as simple as saying 'CREATE
TOPIC ION-CHANNEL' and every one can do it. Create your own or join an
existing topic, a digest can have an editor or be an open forum.
Unlike its paper counterparts all digests are archived and indexed and can
be retrieved using simple search commands.
      o NAMES server
        To locate people from other places according to their name or
interest is one of the prime objectives. As you join, you will be asked to
fill up a registry form with your vital statistics, interests and area of
expertise.
      o APPLICATION server
        If you need a special computer program to do a special part of an
experiment, preform a special analysis or run laboratory equipment there is
a fair chance some one already written it or something similar elsewhere, so
why reinvent the wheel? LifeSci will not keep the programs themselves but
will keep record of computer applications developed elsewhere with
instructions on how to get them, whom to contact and what you need to use
it.
      o CONFERENCE server
        'Chatting' is the interactive sending and receiving of computer
messages, more then two people can chat using special relay machines.
Registered users of LifeSci will be able to hold conferences by calling
members of their TOPIC. The discussion of work group can be distributed as a
digest to the missing members.
      o BBOARD
        Just a small bulletin board to spread the word around, the BBoard
is a public clipboard to post messages of public interest.
