US-Cuba Scientific Collaboration Emerging Issues and Opportunities in Marine and Related Environmental Sciences

摘要

Despite diplomatic nonrecognition, vast political differences, a long-standing trade embargo, and strict limitations on travel, US-Cuban scientific collaboration is on the rise.

The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and the Cuban Academy of Sciences facilitated the trip.
