Dear Folks:

I think some of you might be interested in today's Havana Times blog post
entitled Science in U.S.-Cuba Relations
<http://www.havanatimes.org/?p=109981&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+havanatimes%2Fapge+%28Havana+Times+Posts%29>.
The December 17 announcements in Washington and Havana have opened up new
opportunities for closer collaboration with Cuban scientific and technical
societies.

At the time, I was asked to evaluate the December 17 announcements about
normalization of diplomatic relations between the United States and Cuba.
I went a bit further and offered my view of opportunities and challenges
facing the Cuban revolution in the era of decline of the American empire.
Below are hyperlinks to this two part essay for those interested in such
questions.
