However, the major focus of these memoirs are devoted to Dr. Hawrylyshyn’s return to his native land, wherein he discusses his experiences with late Soviet authorities, early independent Ukrainian leadership, his being advisor to three prime ministers and two presidents, and his decision to remain in Ukraine

We live in amazing times - someone doesn't know how to spend their money surprising the civilized world with the different ways of spending it, others have precious ideas but they don't have means to embody them. Certainly, the developed countries have already found the effective mechanisms to benefit from the useful scientific development. As for us, the science and finances don't work for mutually increasing so far, but they exist like in parallel worlds

Approximately one third of the world's population suffers from various neurological disorders. On the one hand, the brain research is helping those in pain - and on the other hand, neuroscientists pose problems such as the empowerment of the human brain. To create a new type of pain medication, Ukrainian neurophysiologists are experimenting with the pain and the Central Asian spider venom. 

The Indian Powder Metallurgy Association works hard to promote technological developments to businessmen, who are eager to invest into the rapidly growing industry. It may be said that India is becoming one of the significant manufacturers of automobile parts in the World

If you think that India “is frozen in its aged traditions”, a third world country, you are mistaken. India has modern nuclear weapons, space ships and high technologies of indigenous origin. It launches satellites and exports millions or dollars worth of software. Only three countries, US, Russia and China, can be said to have fully-operational nuclear weapon triads -- the capability to fire nuclear-tipped missiles from land, air and sea. India will gatecrash into this highly-exclusive club by 2012.

Dr. Ihor R. Lemischka interview by Catherine Cormier

We have a unique opportunity to observe manifestation of the global warming. Sufficient climate change is visible in Polar Regions. Arctic and Antarctic regions are the most suitable experimental “laboratories” to study marine shelf and adjacent terrestrial ecosystems under conditions of the glaciers retreat. Previously we have explored and documented some Marine and Terrestrial communities in the Antarctic region. That is why we plan to study similar communities of the Arctic region, particularly on Spitsbergen island (Svalbard), including both surface ecological investigation of marine phyto- and zoobenthos of the adjacent shelf and an ecological survey of some Arctic vascular plants in the context of terrestrial ecosystems persistence. The project is aimed at revealing the impact of climate change on different types of natural communities, obtaining the total profile of natural communities from the land surface to the bottom of adjacent shelf.
