Abstract: Strongest and weakest points of science in Latin America
I will review, statistically, the strong points of science in Latin America and also the weakest points. We will discuss possible ways of contributing to enhancing the abilities of the region and improving those areas in science in which Latin America require additional efforts. This review will focus on the possibility of cooperating with the new policies at Arecibo.
