Dear CCL'ers:

I gleaned this from YSN:

>CAREER TRANSITIONS IN BIOINFORMATICS: CHOICES IN A CHANGING FIELD
>
>Science's Next Wave, a Web site published by American Association for the
>Advancement of Science (AAAS) and Science magazine, will be presenting a
>feature on new career options in bioinformatics on Friday, July 12. This
>Bioinformatics feature is part of our series on alternative careers for
>scientists, New Niches.
>
>The bioinformatics New Niche will provide viewpoints from scientists and
>informatics managers at Merck, Immunex, Smith Kline Beecham, among
>others. They will discuss:
>
>	-- expanding career choices in industry and federal organizations
>
>	-- the training and experiences that led them to their current
>	positions
>
>	-- changes they foresee in a young, rapidly expanding field
>	which can provide lucrative options for scientists seeking
>	positions in industry
>
>Science's Next Wave will also be providing descriptions and links for
>related resources for scientists contemplating career changes in this 
>direction. We strongly encourage you to tell your peers and colleagues
>about the current and future New Niche features.
>
>The Bioinformatics New Niche will be active starting on Friday, July 12. 
>It will remain interactive until September 6. We encourage you to direct 
>comments and career questions to the participants over the next two 
>months via the Web site.
