Nanomedicine Support Continues in 2007

Jun27
2007
Written by admin

Alcor is pleased to announce continuing support for development of theoretical nanomedical protocols and devices. For the third year, Robert Freitas, Jr. will receive a grant to continue his pioneering work in nanotechnology. Freitas has acknowledged Alcor’s support in several peer-reviewed, published papers. He also has one additional peer-reviewed paper currently in press at J. Phys.Chem. A (slated for August 2007 publication) and four other peer-reviewed papers in various stages of completion — all Alcor-supported — that should be published sometime during 2007-2008.

Read more to see the list of some publications noting Alcor’s support.

Canada has Toll-free Phone Access

Jun01
2007
Written by admin

Several hours were spent on the phone with multiple representatives at AT&T trying to establish toll-free phone access from Canada. After much discussion, they realized that the line was caught “in limbo” and had never been fully transferred to AT&T.

Members in Canada have confirmed that the toll-free numbers (both the business and emergency lines) are now working.

Thank you to all the members in Canada who helped with testing the phone lines.

BUSINESS: 877-462-5267
EMERGENCY: 800-367-2228
