The Young Scientist's Network (YSN) is a free newsletter about employment problems and political action for new scientists. YSN opposes Federal efforts to recruit more scientists, claiming that we have a current glut and poor job prospects for the future. "It is just as important to improve the average worker's numeracy and scientific literacy [as to train more specialists]." YSN had 1,400 members as of 1/93. Send a "subscribe" or "help" subject line to ysn-request@zoyd.ee.washington.edu or contact John Sahr (ysn-adm@zoyd.ee.washington.edu). [Bob Stringfield, 4/23/93.]
