  1. So nice, Barry, for taking us through a long journey from bringing back to recollect some landmarks in profession to whether alcohol is good for health.
    I do not know what filters you used to select these comments but most worth recollecting.

  2. I moderate all comments that come to the blog, TC. I get many each day but most are completely irrelevant, advertising all manner of things. I greatly appreciate all comments that are accepted- I just wish there were more and that more people would become involved

  3. Yes Barry; such recollections are good to people like me to see how far we travelled; more to encourage young starters to plan their future.
    I read each of them again and really they cover a wide spectrum--your writing that book( how much you must have read/digested and then put it in such a manner that it has such a long life( with help from others at a latter stage), the recognition to various persons of all age groups--
    Not only in our field but across all sections of Academic and R&D community, I notice some hesitation to participate and communicate.
    I myself ask many questions(may be stupid to experts) but communication is the backbone of personal development and professional progress---so much to learn--

    1. I agree with you TC regarding communication. Unfortunately many professionals are way too busy or don’t want to communicate, but I have never minded opening myself up to criticism. Makes life interesting!
