As luck would have it I’m at CIAT in Cali, Colombia just as the story of the overturning of the infamous Enola bean patent is gaining traction. Everyone very excited around here.

Hurrah! As the article says, it’s unfortunate the gene thief got away with it for as long as he did … but it’s really great news.
Hi Luigi,
I can’t believe you are in Cali, the city where I was born and raise. Well, make sure you do the following: try aguadiente blanco, dance salsa in Juanchito, eat empanadas and chontaduros, and pandebono, try guarapo from sugar cane, meet a calena….and i could just keep going. Anyway, i hope you keep us update with the very relevant work CIAT does. Greeting from a caleno in Washington, Rafael
Hi there Rafael, nice to hear from you. Having lived here in Cali for 5 years, up to 2002, I think I’ve done all the things on your list, some more than once! Great to be back, albeit briefly.
