Welcome aboard, Shaykins! It's nice to see other tropical members on the board! So, greetings from the other side of the equator, and the banana Republic of Ecuador.

Since I do this to everyone at some point, and with you it seems quite fitting - are you interested in writing for our magazine?

Shaykins,

I went to you site and was impressed! I also went to the socioenconomics section and found that it was blank. I was a bit disappointed but am wondering what aspects of the economic system you are addressing in your assignments.

Thanks!

John

Welcome shaykins! So nice to meet you. I am impressed with the research being done in Uganda and hope to read some of them. If you have articles in .pdf format available, please send a private message to me and I will send you my email address. I am active in banana micropropagation and embryo rescue. Is your work primarily dealing with bananas, plantain or Ensete?
