@govinda-bhandari - to use the profile username link, for contacting specific members with a message, best to state the @username at start of message, and use hyphen if there is a space in the username. A dropdown menu of possible usernames may appear, @research-cooperative.

Testing the #hashtag hashtag system and @chief-admin profile username link. Seems a hyphen is needed for usernames that have a space, but capitals can be ignored. Please note @Govinda_Bhandari

Thank you for your thoughtful letter introducing me to the Research Cooperative. I see that you have experience in archeology; I have experience from a field school and a couple of digs for private companies. Thank you once again for your hospitality and look forward to sharing resources.

Dear Peter,

Thank you for getting in contact. I am still navigating how this site works but would be most happy to meet up with some like minded thinkers to discuss anything 'island' research related! I'm in Auckland and my email address is jran057@aucklanduni.ac.nz.

Kind regards,

Jonathan

Dear Peter,

Your observations are correct insofar as state of science publishing in India is concerned.It has been a long time since I left active research in biology and now more inclined to popularization/communication of science in India.These days more interested in developing modules for science popularization for masses. Besides I am serving in state govt as Chief Executive in Fisheries department and have been given the task of imparting technological knowledge to fish farmers under lab to land programme. . I would definitely like to explore this website from time to time despite my busy schedules.

Dear Prof. Matthews, your proposal to take part in session 'Archaeology of Disasters' is very interesting for me especialy concerning contemporary events on border of Russia. I'm not archeologist. But I'think it is very important explore the arheology of common consciousness. How the media work with the consciousness? How to work with the media consciousness, causing a rift within the social groups and war. Comparative analysis of the structure of the media reports for the past six months shows that the Disasters was caused not by natural hurricanes, typhoons and vicious Social Engineering. Agenda: Arheology of disasters constructed in the system of knowledge and education

Hello,Thank you for your warm welcome and question regarding a control group.At this point in time we will not be able to have a control group. The project has had some organizational bumps and so the scope will be need to be narrowed a bit. It basically needed to be up and running in terms of offering the service to the surrounding community on 6/1/14. So we are assessing what data we will actually be able to collect.
