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.
