Martz Web and Email List Projects

Here are my World Wide Web and Email List projects, most recent first. The term "apparently unique" means that I am not aware of any other web site or email list in the world with the same focus or primary topic.

General Purpose Scientific Plotting Software. Created 1/28/96. This includes a list of software packages, published reviews, and opinions/experiences of individuals. Dylan Bulseco at the University of Oregon independently put up a site with similar goals on 3/10/96.
RasMol Home Page. Created November, 1995. Described in the Brookhaven National Laboratories newsletter, and linked to by Brookhaven, the Journal of Protein Science, and many other sites. Visited by over 7,000 different people from 49 countries in the first three months of its existence. Apparently unique.
RasMol Email List. Created November, 1995. Over 60 subscribers by end of second month of existence. Apparently unique.
Home Page for Microbiology 540 Immunology and Microbiology 542 Immunology Laboratory Classes. Created September 1995.
Class Email List for Microbiology 540, Microbiology 542. First used fall 1995, when it was subscribed to by about 30 of the 50-some students enrolled in the classes; half a dozen or so students asked about 30 questions by email during the semester.
Immunology at UMass, Amherst. Created September 1995; Faculty CV/research pages linked January 1996. Includes the most up-to-date and accurate listing of all immunology courses on campus.
Catalog of Free Flow Cytometry Software. Created February 1995. A comprehensive list of all free flow cytometry software available worldwide. Linked to major flow cytometry sites such as the International Society of Analytical Cytometry, The Scripps Research Institute, Purdue University, the Dana-Farber Cancer Center. During late 1995/early 1996, visited by about 500 people per month. Apparently unique.
Flow Cytometry Facility of UMass, Amherst. Created March 1995. Includes an introduction to "What is Flow Cytometry?" (linked to by the American Association of Immunologists), and information about training options on our campus.
Cell-Mediated Cytotoxicity Email List. Created May, 1994. For researchers working on cytolytic T lymphocytes, natural killer cells, and phagocyte-mediated killing. These are defense mechanisms of the immune system against infection and cancer, also involved in tissue and organ graft rejection and autoimmune disease. During its first year of existence, it was subscribed to by 159 people (50% from outside the USA), and 171 messages were broadcast. Apparently unique.
