Prof. Louis Grant, 1913 - 1993 By Dr. Rebecca Tortello The saying   "we likkle but we tallawah"  can be applied to many aspects of Jamaican life, not the least of which is Jamaica's contribution to world science. This article, the first in a two-part series featuring Jamaican scientists, considers the work of Professor Louis Grant, microbiologist, one of those whose work had immense local and international impact. PROF. LOUIS GRANT, M.D., C.H., M.P.H., DIP BACT., FAPHA, F.C. PATH, F.A.A.N.

I used to visit Jamaica and talk to the resort workers......Those who can't be employed in the tourist sector must work in call centre sweat shops - again for peanuts. Di rest? They don't really care and have no plan for...Dem cyan dead for all dem care... The political establishment flails about having few options so they focus on enriching themselves. To sever the ties with the corporate class or tourism moguls may cause that class to flee to neighboring countries - taking their capital with them. That's what happened to Michael Manley who didn't really, just hinted at it. I was there. I saw it and the destabilization that fol...
