Prof Tara Dasgupta - What a fantastic feeling to be able
to set up our own website?
CAS had been trying to achieve this for the past ten years in
Trinidad but due to various technical difficulties the executives
of CAS were unable to launch it. Now (July 2007) we have finally
been able to find a suitable domain
https://www.caswi.org and in Jamaica,
http://www.caswi.org.jm and set up these websites.
Through our website we should now be able to communicate with our
members and Fellows in other islands in the region; scientific
information can be transmitted, we can create awareness of the
Academy in the public and private sector and most importantly
announcements of all events related to CAS can be easily
made.
We have concurrently launched our own open access on-line
ejournal
http://www.caswi.org.jm/ejournal.
I am asking all our members to actively use these electronic
facilities to voice their opinions on scientific matters and to
communicate their research findings.
CAS is moving fast in achieving its goal, so make sure you move
along with it.
If you are not a member, become a member immediately. If you are
a member or a Fellow keep your subscription up to date.
Finally, I would like to thank Professor Robert Lancashire,
Secretary of CAS for making our dream a reality. I would also
like to thank the technical staff of MITS for extending their
help to Prof. Lancashire on various technical matters and to
Google for the site and access to the many Google Apps.
Professor Tara Dasgupta
President, CAS, 2007
