This is a site for all memebers

We encourage our members to use this site for news, announcements, communications, discussions, and any thing that would be of general interest to all members. Perhaps it is also an ideal place to discuss negative experimental results that would normally not appear in any journals to help others prevent from making the same mistakes or falling into the same traps. If you would like to share your experience and to solicit suggestions for unsuccessful experiments, this is also the place for you. If you know of any job openings, please send as much information as possible for publication on this site. For all communications, please send the notes by e-mail to C. S.
