I was just thinking : strange, I didn't received a message since I left for Mexico! And then, I tried to send myself an email (to the admin account, see at the bottom of the page for the address). Didn't receive it! Turns out that my mailbox had a very small default quota (10 megs), was setup to keep every message since the beginning AND had a special 'spam' folder that I didn't have access to using my POP email reader on my desktop.

Cleaned the mess, and now I can receive emails again. I apologize in advance if you tried to contact me; just do so again! admin @ biologynews.net ... comments, suggestions, design ideas, problems, etc... I always love to hear from you ;)

Anyone knows of a student in design or graphism? Looking for some new icons and logo (I designed the current ones, and can't say I'm 100% satisfied). Obviously I would love to hire a professional, but I really don't think I can afford it. Just drop me a mail if you know of someone!
