About Me

Name:
Location: Kingston, Jamaica

I am a Ghanaian-born Senior Principal Scientist at the Caribbean Agricultural Research and Development Institute (CARDI) and currently also the CARDI Representative in Jamaica. I was educated at the University of Ghana, Legon (B.Sc., Agri. Hons and M.Sc., Anim. Sci.) and the University of Wales, UK (Ph.D.), and have had a professional career spanning over 27 years as Livestock Scientist, specialising in Animal Nutrition, Forage Agronomy and Ruminant Livestock Production, especially sheep and goats. I am also the Regional Coordinator of the Caribbean Small Ruminant Network (CASRUNet). Before joining CARDI I held academic and administrative positions at the University of Ghana (Research Officer – 1975 to 1980, Lecturer – 1980 to 1981) and University of Guyana (Lecturer/Senior Lecturer – 1982 to 1989, Assistant Dean/Dean, Faculty of Agriculture 1984 to 1989). Current professional passion: To assist in the development of the Caribbean small ruminant industry and thereby help subsistence and hobby sheep and goat producers to embrace small ruminant production as a viable agribusiness activity. “Sheep and Goats” is my business!

Reflecting on volume of resource material for the workshop:

My email box "acted up" and I did not "see" some messages posted by colleagues so I decided to spend the day (eworkshop day = 2 hours; 9-11 am) catching up on some reading. I tackled "Facilitating and Hosting Online Interaction". The eworkshop day was not enough for the topic, not with all the links. Then I wondered, are we going to be able cover all the resource materials...

Short hint -- don't follow all the links right now. :-) Focus on the conversations on DGroups and then, if something is compelling or closely linked to your work, mark that link for later reading.

One of the things that reallyl trips me up online is forgetting that the precious resource is the people; the content will always be there later!
