a new job?

We exchanged a lot of emails with Professor Marlud. And it looks like it could be a yes! The professor is really interested with our two medical profiles. As geneticists (even if I took a pediatric orientation for the last 3 years) we could be a real added value to the mission. Alex spoke to Matthew about this project. He seems to have agreed that the lab can do without Alex for six months but I believe he has something else in his mind, and probably expect Alex to do research for the lab right there in Guyana, among the Preserved indian population. What they actually have in mind, I don't really want to know, I just trust Alex and that's enough for me. On my side, I already took contact with an association of voluntary doctors to find who could take my job in the reservation. I feel a little sad when I think I’ll have to leave the people I took care of for the last six months of my life for I have grown very fond of some children and elders herre.

seminar with professor François Marlud

Last week while attending a seminary we met a French and brilliant Medicine Professor. François Marlud is his name. He’s organizing a six months mission in French Guyana and more precisely in the South of the equatorial forest. Doctors, physicians, biologists, geneticists, specialists of nature and environment will join this mission. From what I understood, they’re all fairly well known in their fields of business. The mission’s objective is double: studying the local environment (flowers, plants, animals…) and bringing healthcare to a population isolated on a vast portion of the Equatorial forest north of the River Saint-Laurent, close to the border with Brazil. We have had endless talks about this mission with Alex. I believe that it would be a great opportunity for the two of us and I think I managed to convince him. We don’t know yet if the mission is finally on its way and what the consequences would be for us.
