Bio-Repository Project In Planned Canal Zone Led By Molecular Biologist Jorge Huete Ph.D.

Jorge Huete Perez, vice president of the Nicaraguan Academy of Sciences, has worked with environmentalists from around the world
to bring attention to the canal which will be "the largest earth-moving project in history."

Will Nicaragua's Interoceanic Canal Project Ruin Its "Sweet Tea?"

Greetings,

Anyone who knows Alejandra (Alixe) Huete and her husband, Jorge Huete, knows they are fine people, devoted to the common good.

Jorge was Nicaragua's first Ph.D. molecular biologist.

Alongside his many scientific accomplishments, Jorge speaks Russian better than English - and his English is superb.

Jorge is a passionate researcher, eager to "take the bull by the horns." 

Almost singlehandedly, he launched Nicaragua's first DNA identification service.

I encourage you to donate to this worthy cause.

Pax tecum,

Alan

PS An amusing anecdote... that was not very amusing at the time... Alixe, Jorge and son Gabo live in a hilly, wooded barrio known as Los Alpes just outside Managua. Several years ago, while enjoying their company and hospitality, I awoke on a bright moonlit, open-window night and there in the glow slowly limned an eight inch bat reposing on my chest. So... What would you do?

Hi Family and Friends,

The Center for Molecular Biology at the Universidad Centroamericana in Managua, Nicaragua, is doing a biodiversity DNA collection project along the Interoceanic Canal Route across Nicaragua and could use some help with the expenses. (Any donation from U.S. tax payers is tax deductible.) You can see and read about the project through the "experiment.com" crowd funding website. You'll see a nice write up of the project at this site -  https://experiment.com/projects/saving-species-along-nicaragua-s-inter-oceanic-canal-route?s=search   - and can donate safely through the same page. Let us know what you think and join the discussion. We'll be posting updates and field notes as work progresses. Any donation, from $5 or $10 or $100 (or more!) will be put to good use and greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Alixe
