Dear Dr. Nassar,

Congratulations to you on all your accomplishments.  With the improvement of cassava, many will eat who would otherwise starve, an accomplishment that should make you very proud.

I have always enjoyed being in touch with you and reading about your fine good works.

Dear Dr. Nassar,

 Thank you for your email of August 31, 2004.

I compliment you for developing the cassava hybrid that has mustered such high demand in Nigeria.  The apomictic and pest resistant material will be very helpful in obtaining stabilized yields from planting material which can be easily multiplied on a large scale.

 With kind regards,

 Yours sincerely,

Dear Nagib,

Thank you for forwarding the copy of the citation from Rodomiro Ortiz. I am glad that your contirbutions and hybrids are so well recognized; the application of research can be difficult but it is excellent that you have achieved this through your programme including publication.

Best wishes,

 Pat.

Nagib
Fico realmente emocionado e o relato é surpreendente. Parabéns meu caro colega e amigo. Grato por compartilhar comigo seus esplêndidos resultados, tão importantes para a África e para o Brasil.
Mereces, pelo menos, a "Ordem do Mérito Científico", pois o Nobel tem muita política e os julgadores, em geral, não contemplam nossa área de pesquisa.
Muitos Parabéns !!!
Abraços

Dear Nagib, 

You have my hearties congratulations for a job well done!! To me, providing small cultivators with superior germplasm to allow them to have a more secure food supply and a marketable surplus is the most noble of achievements.

Keep up the good work and all best wishes for your personal well being.

Dear Nagib,

Estive viajando e sem acesso à Internet. Vi o geneconserve e gostei muito.

Está bem feito e é fácil de navegar. Fiquei feliz em saber que você foi

nominado várias vezes para o prêmio internacional de alimentos.

Embora meu interesse sejam as algas marinhas, especialmente as produtoras

de colóides, tenho acompanhado de longe seus progressos na literatura. Não

sei se recorda, mas tivemos um contato pessoal, décadas atrás quando

ambos éramos muito jovens.

Parabéns e um abraço, Eurico.

Prezado Nagib,

Apreciei muito sua página sobre Manihot e a revista digital. Excelente! Original a forma de divulgação, pelo menos no Brasil. Parabéns pela iniciativa. Vou divulgar junto a nossa comunidade do Instituto de Biociências, pois no momento estou no cargo de Diretor do Instituto, congregando os departamentos de Botânica, Ecologia, Biofísica, Biotecnologia, Genética e Zoologia.

Qualquer novidade peço que me envie um ALERT.

Atenciosamente,
