I've just joined this list and so far, its been interesting. I am seeking advice on how to get involved in development work. I am currently finishing my PhD at the University of Hong Kong. I am a plant pathologist and my main area of experience is horticultural crops such as citrus and macadamia. I have been looking around various web pages for organisations involved in development work. It seems that across the board, you need experience in development work before they are interested. My question is how to gain this very necessary experience if no one will take you on until you have some? I would love to become involved in the area of postharvest loss. Anyway, any information or advice would be most appreciated.Jacqui Wright mailto:h9492010@hkusua.hku.hk Department of Ecology and Biodiversity The University of Hong Kong
