FORUM

摘要

Regarding the Readers' Forum letter "Going Global" (July EXPLORER): I am a proud emeritus member of over 50 years with the AAPG. The AAPG was founded by American geologists in 1917 in the United States of America. I find it extremely offensive to suggest any "shackles" being carried by the word "American" in reference to AAPG's membership. Scientists worldwide, if qualified for membership, can join regardless of race, citizenship, gender, religion or political viewpoint.
