Here is a draft. Please suggest additions or enhancements if you like.

<p>The Debian Med and Debian Science projects are <a
href='http://blends.alioth.debian.org/'>Debian Pure Blends</a> articulated on
<em>tasks</em>, for each of which exists a metapackage. Recently, we created
new tasks:</p>

<ul>
  <li>In Debian Med.
    <ul>
      <li><p>
        <a href='http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/tasks/cloud'>Cloud</a>,
        for remote calculations on computing clusters or clouds. Packages of
        this task typically do not require a graphical interface, and are
        small in size so that they do not enlarge sytem images too much.</p></li>
      <li><p>
        <a href='http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/tasks/bio-ngs'>Next-generation
        sequencing</a>, for studying genomes, epigenomes, transcriptomes, and other
        components of the data deluge that flows out of high-throughput sequencers.
        Packages of this task are allowed to depend on heavier graphical toolkits.
        </p></li>
     </ul></li>
  <li>In Debian Science.
     <p>
        Some tasks of Debian Science focus on neuroscience. Among the newset, there are:   
        <a href='http://blends.alioth.debian.org/science/tasks/bci'>Brain-computer interface</a>,
        <a href='http://blends.alioth.debian.org/science/tasks/distributedcomputing'>Distributed computing</a>,
        <a href='http://blends.alioth.debian.org/science/tasks/electrophysiology'>Electrophysiology</a>,
        <a href='http://blends.alioth.debian.org/science/tasks/machine-learning'>Machine learning</a>,
        <a href='http://blends.alioth.debian.org/science/tasks/neuroscience-datasets'>Neuroscience datasets</a>,
        <a href='http://blends.alioth.debian.org/science/tasks/neuroscience-modeling'>Modeling of neural systems </a> and
        <a href='http://blends.alioth.debian.org/science/tasks/psychophysics'>Psychophysics</a>. They cover a lage scope, from experimental manipulations to computational simulations.
     </p>
   </li>
</ul>
