Today I have taken some time from my busy

schedule (because I can) :P to speak. When I come on this board and speak critically of UWI and CAST, it's not done to put them down but for them to reach hihger heights. I have said it it before: You cannot have tertiary insitutions in your country yet walking the globe asking for every concievable expertise man can think of. We have to hold our tertiary institutions to high standards (Look at a what India did with their institute of technology). I was pleased this morning when I saw this in the papers:

Well it depends on what kind of papers you are talking

about. Ben you said you are a scientist. If you don't mind me intruding; what science were you trained in or were you self taught? I know of some self taught scientists in the hills St.Mary :PBTW are you a senoir advisor to brucie? (small wonder the guys on the other side wins without effort) Granted if you are self taught you would still do research at some tertiary institution or major corporation. I am no scientist, just a simple man in modern day Egypt trying to learn its mysteries.

And I am certain the Chancellors and vice-chancellors , Principals and Vice-principals cant start their days without reading the Reggae Boys Forum to see how best they can move their stagnant institutions forward.



Too bad you are so busy or you could come here and sit them down and tell them how best to move ahead.
