Market News: HMS Beagle HMS Beagle, a webzine for the biological research community, is looking for science fiction stories relating to biology or medicine. According to editor Lois Wingerson ''The stories need not be set in the distant future or in imaginary locations, if the author wishes to write about current topics. Many current biological topics, such as new discoveries in the field of genetics, computers and biology, or earth science and evolution, are most certainly acceptable.''
