Draw Winners |
This year, we held
prize draw competitions for participants of the following meetings:-
OEESC Conference, Edinburgh, Scotland

The challenge in each case was the same - answer the
questions that
prove your credentials as a world-expert in TEWL.
We
were impressed by the number of correct entries received, given
how tough the questions were. The prize for the
winners, drawn

to train in the ancient craft of punting.

| January 2009:- Launch
of the New Biox Website |
|
After a busy Christmas period, we are finally able to
replace the old website with this new look. We thank Lucy for
greeting visitors to our old home page, but she's
had to make room for the new quick-links to key information, such
as the ever growing lists of AquaFlux users and their publications.
Also, the number of downloadable publications was going up and
up, and we had to re-organise these into a separate Library section.
Please e-mail us if you have any suggestions for improvement, or
if you spot any problems or mistakes.
