a new beginning

After the 50th anniversary of the Cuban revolution, and the much-anticipated change at the White House, will it be too much to hope for an end to a US policy that has created most of the problems that it pretends to solve ?

Nature magazine, which normally supports scientific revolutions, not political ones, praises Cuban biotech and calls for an end to the blockade of scientific collaboration with Cuban scientists:

Cuba's biotech boom
The United States would do well to end restrictions on collaborations with the island nation's scientists.


That's in today's editorial, page 130.
