The PCOS Record ‹ July 20, 2000 v2 n1

Welcome to the first edition of the newly revamped PCOS Record! Some of you may remember the Record as an email-based newsletter, but it has evolved into a full-fledged online publication now. The Record will provide information to subscribers about PCOS research studies, links to PCOS-related information on the Internet, cosmetic and beauty tips, low-carb recipes and time-sensitive news that can't wait for the next issue of PCOS Bulletin. Kate Pohjola will serve as the PCOS Record editor. If you have any suggestions with regard to content, please let Kate know by sending e-mail to pcosrecord@pcosupport.org

PCOSA in Motion will continue to be edited by Michaela Wirtz. PCOSA in Motion is an email-based newsletter that keeps PCOSA members informed about organizational news and events. I will continue as editor of PCOS Bulletin. The Bulletin is a quarterly hard-copy publication distributed to PCOSA members only.

I hope you will enjoy all of the PCOSA newsletters. Don't hesitate to send me any feedback you have about any of our publications and keep in mind we are always looking for writers and graphic design specialists!
