UL President Dennis thanks I-Help Liberia Science team
A two week long Science Workshop organized by the I-HELP Liberia Program today June 25, came to a successful end with an appeal from University of Liberia President Dr. Emmett Dennis for participants who attended the seminar to transfer knowledge acquired to other Science Instructors and Students who were not fortunate to benefit from the program.

He challenged Liberians to take advantage of what was missed during the period of the civil war in the country by meaningfully seeking available materials to build their intellectual and academic skills.

He thanked the visiting I-HELP Science delegation for their voluntary service rendered Liberian science teachers terming them as “brilliant young Americans”. He said they have adequately responded to service for humanity and wished them well in their endeavors.

He thanked participants at the seminar for actively responding to project thought them by the foreign professors.

Earlier, the head of the visiting I-HELP team to Liberia Dr. Adam Cohen praised all the participants for the level of cooperation exemplified during the workshop. He acknowledged the hospitality and appreciation accorded them during their stay in Liberia.

At the close of the seminar today, several presentations were made by the participants. Among the list of project topics presented include Bacteria growth, colorimetric analysis of starch content in foods, current voltage characteristics of a graphite-on-paper resistor, analysis of the energy production scheme proposed by Buchanan Renewable (electricity from old rubber tree), and analysis of methods for solid waste management around Monrovia among others.
