Kryos News is going to be a somewhat irregular collection of updates and objectives centering around Kryos, Inc. Topics will necessarily be diverse, and will for the time being be posted primarily to CryoNet. Soon we will develop our own mailing list for this purpose, but in the interim, we would like to keep everyone informed about our progress. >As Mike probably knows, attempts are going on to benefit from >vitrification research in Alcor, too.

Naturally I am also interested in the material: >just how soon will these advances come? We have certainly attracted a lot of interest in our work in this area; though we are still in the process of renovating our facility, we feel that we can devote all of our time to this by mid-summer. As always, we are interested in having more experienced researchers assist us in the above area, and if anyone reading this fits that description, please let Mike or I know. As for the question of how soon the advances will come, that is a difficult question to answer since the concept of advances is rather subjective. What some may view as an advance may not be seen in the same light by others. Having said that, we are dedicated to bringing these advances about, and once we become fully operational, we will provide a forum where interested parties can be kept fully up to date on our advances.
