Dear colleagues, You may know that there exists a group of scientists with temporal contracts (of 5 years) financed by the Ministry and autonomous regions called Ramón y Cajal. The first group employed in 2001 will now be evaluated. The criteria recently published by the Ministry appear to heavily rely on the ISI CI which gave rise to a vivid discussion on the Ramón y Cajal list server on how appropriate this is. The problem of the ISI CI is of course not at all new and leads me to a more general question to the paleo-community. For Biology there now exists an alternative - http://www.facultyof1000.com/browse/ - which is however rather biassed on medical topics (in its widest sense) and does not include Paleobiology issues nor for example morphogenesis of "hard tissues" (in their developmental biology section). The question: Are you happy with the state as is or do you think it's worth to push a bit to get paleobiology included in Facultyof1000 or to push in the direction of our own Faculty of 100 equivalent for Geosciences? Thanks for your opinions, Cheers, Niko -- __________________________________ Nikolaus Malchus PhD (Geology) Ramón y Cajal researcher (RyC 1) Dept. de Geologia/Unitat Paleontologia Universitat Autňnoma de Barcelona Campus, Edifici Cs 08193 Bellaterra (Cerdanyola del Vallčs) Catalonia, SPAIN Tel 34-93-581-1464 Fax 34-93-581-1263 Regular Fax to my e-mail box: x49-(0)89-1488-192-992 nikolaus.malchus@uab.es (< 2 MB) n.malchus@gmx.net (> 2 MB) ____________________________________
