I am very pleased to welcome you to TWAS Plus, a new electronic bulletin from The World Academy of Sciences. We've designed TWAS Plus to be a practical and useful guide to the work we're doing and the opportunities we offer to scientists at every stage of their careers.
Over the past 30 years, our Academy has excelled at communicating about the issues of science and engineering in the developing world. Today, the TWAS Newsletter, www.TWAS.org, and our other publications remain fresh and vitally important.
But TWAS Plus will do something different: At a glance, it will give you our most important news – including opportunities and coming deadlines in our PhD and post-doctoral fellowships, research grants, award competitions and visiting scientist posts.
I believe that you will quickly see the value TWAS Plus. And so I ask you, please, to share it with your colleagues and students, policymakers, business leaders and others in your networks. Together, we can bring career-building opportunities to scientists throughout the developing world, and at the same time, build the energy and influence of TWAS's global community.
Thank you very much.
Best regards,
Romain Murenzi, executive director
The World Academy of Sciences
