Amateur Scientist's Forum - Connect the Amateur Scientists' Forum - The Internet service that's helping hundreds of amateur and professional scientists network for the good of science. The Forum makes use of Webx software, a revolutionary new technology from Lundeen and Associates. Lundeen and Associates generously donated WebX to SAS so that we could bring you the exciting new features it makes possible.

Here is a selection of topics currently being discussed in the SAS forum. To find out more, join the forum and use the WebX search engine to locate the discussion area.
