Re: Mentoring Feedback

Hi Meike, All :)

Thanks for expressing interest in the mentoring program.  Erinn or I 
will write to you privately to discuss your aims and to match you with 
an appropriate mentor.

We are currently changing some aspects of the way the mentoring program 
is organised, to make the administration of it easier to share between 
two or more people.  We have just yesterday set up a new email address 
for handling future mentoring program emails.  The address is:
	mentoring@double-helix.org
and at present this address reaches myself and Erinn Clark.

In future, can anyone who is interested in being part of the mentoring 
program please email us at that address.

Thanks,

Helen.
