The grant is allowing experts in U.S. and Thailand to train future scientists in Thailand to be better equipped to address the challenges of malaria. Hopefully, the preliminary work they are doing will help us obtain additional research grants and further our work.

Understanding how the parasites function, develop and survive will allow us to explore new vaccine and drug options. Many of today's drugs are becoming less effective due to the buildup of resistance within parasite populations. Research concerning population structure and genetic mutations will teach us about the parasites' long-term reactions to drugs.

We will employ more foreign coaches, technicians, nutritionists and other experts to help Chinese athletes.

The future, according to some scientists, will be exactly like the past, only far more expensive

We try to serve a wide range of kids' needs, future scientists as well as kids who just want to try it out.

Floods, droughts, and natural disasters are a fact of life for farmers, ranchers, and foresters. They have persevered in the past, and they will adapt in the future - with the assistance of the scientists and experts at USDA.
