60 Under 60, a special edition of The UWI Pelican magazine, published as part of The UWI 60th Anniversary Celebrations in 2008, was a huge project. I worked on the Editorial Team, and I was very satisfied with the aesthetics of the final physical product: a 128-page, glossy publication with really high-quality, black and white photography.
I enjoyed writing this news release (published in UWI Today June 2010) because of Dr Kim Mallalieu's energy. When it comes to her passion, she really has an electric personality! Keep up the good work, Kim!

Dr Farid F. Youssef: “I am in no form or fashion advocating the smoking of cannabis, a practice that is associated with numerous well documented severe health risks. Neither do I support its legalization. However the effects of cannabis are the result of the body, and the brain in particular, possessing its own endogenous cannabinoid system. We are seeking to understand this system, how its works, how it can be modified and how targeted drug delivery systems can be developed that maximize clinical benefits and minimize unwanted side effects.”
To me, this quote was the highlight of Dr Youssef's UWI Today article.
