ResumoLast week, the U.S. government put a down payment on its plans to build scientific ties with Libya. At a meeting in Tripoli, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced a $1 million grant for Libya to strengthen pandemic flu preparedness, disease surveillance, and lab capacity. The high-level Tripoli discussions also explored potential collaborations in areas such as water, education, health, and the environment. Given Libya's oil wealth, “money is not the issue,” says delegate William Colglazier, executive officer of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences. Both sides also pledged to improve passage for scientists and students traveling between the two countries.
