Note from the Editor

Electronic communication has become the modus operandi for most of us and the EBBS Secretariat is now using this as a rapid means of distributing important information. Nevertheless, members have expressed a strong desire to maintain contact with the Society in the form of the Newsletter. The Newsletter has served as a historical record of the Society’s activities over the years and will continue to do so, complemented now by our up-dated web site. 

The Newsletter is not only a source of information concerning the activities of the Society; it should also serve as a Forum of discussion and communication for the EBBS community. With the next issue, the EBBS newsletter will have a new editor, Martine Ammassari-Teule. The present issue is the tenth and last issue to be edited by the Paris team. The new editor is looking forward to your suggestions and contributions for future newsletters. 

The Newsletters produced in Paris over the past five years were the results of a team effort of students and staff of my Laboratory, especially Laurent Briois, Sophie Tronel and Yves Moricard.
