US scientists visit Cuba for `science diplomacy'
HAVANA -- Eight American scientists, including Nobel laureate in
chemistry Peter Agre, are in Havana to engage in "science diplomacy."
The group was scheduled to meet with officials at Cuba's foreign and
public health ministries as well as visit the island's Academy of
Sciences and the University of Havana.
There was no official word on the visitors' schedule, but they planned
to remain in Cuba through Friday, according to a statement released by
organizers.
The trip comes as Cuba and the U.S. are taking tentative steps toward
improving nearly 50 years of frigid relations with recent talks on
immigration and re-establishing direct mail service between the countries.
