Yes I will send it to collegues and friends in Latin America and Spain. However , you know that one of our limitations is the language. Spanish speaking collegues feels their english is short when you have to talk in public . So please lets think in ways on how to help them to participate in this global effort. Also I wanted to congratulate you for your new possition and status at Liverpool Hope. Sorry for the delay but my father passed away a month ago and I have been involved in family matters.
