Thanks for your interest, Thomas.  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.

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.

                                                Sincerely,

                                                        -E. Shaun Russell
