I think some of you might be interested in today's Havana Times blog post entitled Science in U.S.-Cuba Relations.  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.

If you read this long essay and have critical comments please share them with readers at Our Place in the World as well (that is where they are posted).  Thank you very much.

Warm regards,
