CCST and NIHERST are pleased to provide readers with a
new source of comprehensive information on the life, work and
accomplishments of Caribbean scientists. This effort showcases the wealth of
brain power and talent that exist within our tiny region and the
contribution our scientists have made to the advancement of the region and
the global community as a whole.
We hope that students will gain new insights into the
interesting world of science and be inspired to also excel in careers in the
sciences. We also believe that by educating the public about the
achievements of our scientists, our leaders would be encouraged to invest in
innovation and scientific research and development.
I take this opportunity to congratulate and thank all
those persons and institutions that contributed towards the development of
this valuable resource.
Felix Gregoire,
CCST Chairman
