Yup, good point.

If we can get that to work it would definitely be good.  It will still
almost certainly need some manual sorting though, as not everything
about diffusion will necessarily have diffusion in the title, (although
pubmed seems to do quite a nice job of wrking things out, for my papers
at least).

There are currently 105 members on the mailing list, and I presume
there's a way for the administrator (Derek??) to list these?  If so,
maybe we can just pull a list once a month or so and update accordingly?
