Bob is an expert on science in developing nations, a former staffer of UNESCO, a former Board member of Americans for UNESCO, and for many years led the <A HREF="http://www.iocd.org/index.shtml" REL="nofollow">International Organization for Chemical Sciences in Development</A> (IOCD).<BR/><BR/>"Interestingly enough, IOCD was invited to form a link with the Trace Element Center in Lyon, France, several years ago, this being another one of such centers created through cooperation with UNESCO. We discussed this possibility and decided not to accept the invitation, primarily because we have no scientist in IOCD whose specialization could enable us to appoint him to heading up such an IOCD link.<BR/> <BR/>"I thank you for bringing the article about Dr. Gallicchio to my attention, however, because I may contact him to discuss the Trace Element Centers and explore possibilities that one of his scientists would consider joining IOCD and heading up such a link. Our contact at UNESCO would be quite pleased and possibly help us find the funding of the activities such a center would then be able to carry out with scientists in developing countries."John Dalyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05363204598363726098noreply@blogger.com
