Hi all,

I am willing to mentor the "Biological databases manager". For the other
projects, I think that actually the students would be good mentors for
me ;)

For the moment, I have looked at the three "Biological databases
manager" applications, and I think that only one is much stronger than
others, so it probably does not make sense to invest time in
fine-ranking the two others. Ar there similar cases for other projects?
If we concentrate on the ones for which a mentor has already
volunteered, we can have more rankings per candidate.

Have a nice day,
