Advisory Board is an international group of more than 18,200 life
science and medical professionals. Board members convene
electronically to participate in online conferences, surveys and
discussions addressing issues of importance to their individual areas
of investigation and/or clinical specialties. You are cordially
invited to review the Board's latest report on employment in the life
sciences, "A Window into the Scientist's and Allied Health
Professional's Workplace," which is located at</font> <a

face="Times New Roman"> The report features your colleagues' insights
into what it is like to work in the life sciences. It outlines the
skills life science and medical professionals believe are necessary to
succeed in their positions; offers their views on workplace
frustrations and rewards; and shares their perspectives about
compensation, funding, recognition, and networking.</font></a></div>
<div><font face="Times New Roman"> The
goal of The Science Advisory Board is to give individuals -like
yourself- a prominent voice to express opinions on the tools and
techniques of your profession. Individually, it is often hard for one
person's opinion to make a difference, but collectively through our
online Board, it is possible to exert tremendous influence. The power
of the Internet provides a medium for communicating with the life
sciences industry about their products on a scale that has never
before been possible.</font></div>
<div><font face="Times New Roman"> Interested
in participating in studies about the tools and techniques of your
profession? Voice your own views on the technologies transforming
science and medicine by joining today. Members also have opportunities
to share their expertise through a variety of venues including
editorials, product and book reviews, discussion posts, and online
teleconferences.</font></div>

<div><b>A GLOBAL WARMING WHAT-IF</b></div>
<div>from Newsday<br>
The upward trend of worldwide carbon dioxide
emissions could virtually<br>
eliminate Greenland's massive ice sheet and swamp coastal communities
with<br>
23 feet of seawater in as little as 1,000 years, according to a
climate</div>
<div>modeling study by a trio of European researchers.<br>
At that height, oceans would likely cover
much of low-lying areas such as<br>
Florida, Bangladesh and the Netherlands, not to mention the coasts of
Long</div>
<div>Island and New York City.<br>
A permanent loss of the ice cover on
Greenland could be triggered by a rise<br>
in the island's average year-round temperature of 5.4 degrees
Fahrenheit or</div>
<div>more, the study suggests, an effect precipitated by increasing
emissions of<br>
carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.</div>
