• My cell

If I give you this number (currently ending in 6230), you can text to it in emergencies. However, I much prefer using the pleasepagemark email approach. Also, most calls to my normal phone usually go to my cell, so you should only use this number if something seems awry.

• Confidential information

My email goes into a variety of fairly public servers (e.g. gmail). Consequently, I do not like sending personal information (such as important computer passwords and credit card or social security numbers) over unencrypted email. I also do like sending scanned versions of my signature. If you want this information, you can get it via contacting my assistant. She can either tell it to you over the phone or fax it or mail it to you. You might want to refrain from sending me information like this to me over email.

• No Web forms!

In general, please try to avoid subscribing my main addresses on contact.gerstein.info to any type of web form. I am quite serious about this! It will really annoy me if you do this! I am taking this step basically to try to alleviate the amazing amount of e-mail congestion I suffer. Use my assistant address or the address below instead.

• priv (at) gersteins.net

If you want to send any kind of BULK message to me, please use these addresses. In particular, use these if you are going to subscribe me to a web form or mailing list. Do not send confidential information to this address.

• Slow. Read CC and list messages even more slowly

I read messages sent to me via lists and via CC (or BCC) much more slowly than those directly to one of my two canonical email addresses. Unfortunately, it is rather common for me to get overwhelmed with professional emails. I know I am sometimes slow in responding, so if you want to reach me quickly, try to use the pleasepagemark route. In relation to my slowness, you might also want to reflect on an email auto-response I was considering using.

• If we have a meeting at the medical school, it may be at the bioinformatics resource:
