About Me

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!

UDEISA PALM2PALM BLOG
Quick Access to Blog

Having established links to my favourite websites and blogs on my blog, I thought the most logical thing to do next was to make my blog URL my default home page. Alas, free things have their limitations - I suspect. When I tried that, a blank page starred in front of me. I think the problem is that since password is needed to access the blogspot resources, one cannot automatically conjure up one's blog from the address bar. Or is that the blog is not on the World Wide Web; there is no "www" in the URL. Nancy and Luca, what do you think?

Well, my work around was to place the shortcut of the URL of the blog on the quick launch bar. Then instead of clicking the IE icon, I click on my blog shortcut. A bright idea just came to my mind. Why don't I change the icon image of my shortcut?
