Dear All, Thanks to PalaeoNet, there is now another way for palaeontologists to discuss their work, exchange information, and publicise developments. On Wednesday, the 7th of February 1996, the Natural History Museum in London, in collaboration with the Palaeontological Association of the United Kingdom, will be hosting a Progressive Palaeontology meeting. This will be an opportunity for post-graduates (of all ages!) to give short papers or demonstrations of the way in which computers have enabled them to do palaeontology more efficiently or in new ways. Not just the 'hard-core' science aspect, but also publishing data, communicating with others, and exhibiting to those outside the field (e.g. multimedia). We are looking to hear from anyone interested in putting on a demonstration (IBM or Apple Mac machines can be provided...let us know your specifications!); or simply wants to show a few slides and give a brief talk. Contact either me, Neale Monks, at: N.Monks@nhm.ac.uk or Sian Evans: sian.evans@ic.ac.uk Norm Macleod has 'volunteered' to give a key-note address; and other computer-competent palaeontologists from around London and the UK will be present, so it should be great fun as well as a valuable learning experience. We look forward to seeing you in February! Best Wishes, Neale. NB! I have sent publicity to as many geology departments as I can think of...if your notice board doesn't have a poster, let me know, and I will put that straight! Cheers. >From Neale Monks' PowerBook, at...
