U.S.-Cuban Scientific Relations
Sergio Jorge Pastrana1 and Michael T. Clegg2
In a few years, the two oldest national academies of science in the world outside of Europe--those of the United States and Cuba--will celebrate their 150th anniversaries. Yet despite the proximity of both nations and many common scientific interests, the U.S. embargo on exchanges with Cuba, which began in 1961 and is now based on the 1996 U.S. Helms-Burton Act and subsequent regulations, has largely blocked scientific exchange. It's time to establish a new scientific relationship, not only to address shared challenges in health, climate, agriculture, and energy, but also to start building a framework for expanded cooperation.

Washington’s Cuba Travel Ban Irrational
HAVANA, Cuba, Oct 22 (acn) Cheryl Lutjen, a researcher with the State University of San Marcos in California, United States, on Tuesday said that Washington’s policy to restrict the travel of American scientists to Cuba is irrational.The expert told ACN that the Administration of George W. Bush’s obstruction of exchanges among Cuban and American scientists is absurd.Lutjen is participating in a National Symposium on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the Cuban Center for Sociological and Psychological Research that began on Tuesday at the Minor Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi, located in Old Havana.The expert said that there are no reasons for these limitations that try to obstruct the historic and rich ties that have always existed between intellectual sectors from both countries.She also criticized the reprisals that face those who travel to Havana ignoring these restrictions that are part of Washington’s almost-fifty-year-old economic, trade and financial blockade against Cuba.The symposium, which runs through Thursday, is also being attended by Jaime Preciado Coronado, President of the Latin American Association of Sociology.

On This Day: partial blockades of Cuba by US
“President Kennedy tonight said that he has ordered a partial blockade of all ships of any kind, from whatever nation or port. They would be turned back if found to contain cargoes of offensive weapons. This urgent transformation of Cuba into an important strategic base constituted an explicit threat to the peace and security of all the Americas and contradicted the repeated assurances of the Soviets.” The Times, October 23, 1962
