"Very enjoyable and stimulating small meeting. Great
opportunity for an introductory exploration of rural and
city West Africa."
Jeremy M. Sternberg, School of Biological Sciences,
University of Aberdeen, UK on Kinetoplastid Diseases 2006
"A most unusual - and most enjoyable - meeting! And an
eye-opener for those without prior exposure to Africa.
Participants may expect to have their vision of the world a bit
shaken. This made the meeting an exciting "conference with
a difference"! And a "conference with a difference" for
still another reason: no invited speakers, no program, no
stress - and yet a meeting of first rate scientific level,
thanks to the quality of the participants and of their
presentations."
"Dr. England [of Mangosteen] has a wonderful ability to make
people at ease and solve the little problems that may arise,
both before and during the meeting. Welcoming each
participant at the airport - whatever the time of the flight,
day or night: how nice - and helpful! From the beginning
(getting visas, etc.) until the very last moment, always present
if you needed a helping hand !
Jacques Mauël, Institute of Biochemistry, Switzerland on
Kinetoplastid Diseases 2006
"From our first contact to now, I should recognize the
efforts you [Mangosteen] deployed to let us be informed about
the meeting organisation and outcome. As for the organisation
per se It was for me the best scientific meeting I ever
attended. The meeting was simple, convivial and very
informative."
Oumar Diall, ICRISAT-MALI, Bamako, Mali on Kinetoplastid
Diseases 2006
"After hearing from the Head of my Department about
Kinetoplastid Diseases 2006, I submitted an abstract and it was
a nice experience to interact with Dr. Anthony England – the
organizer [president of Mangosteen]. He was very
cooperative and proactive in helping and clearing all sorts of
matters in rapid communication."
"The organization of the meeting was very inimitable by
bringing the participants very close to each other, thus, giving
a look of a family. The quality of the papers presented was high
in terms of currents era and technology. The presenters were
eminent scientists in their fields and this meeting really
enhanced my vision after listening learned researchers. I really
enjoyed science and adventure in West Africa."
“My first participation in an international scientific
meeting came true through Kinetoplastid Diseases 2006 with a
tasty and unique amalgam of scientific presentations/
interaction and adventure under the auspices of Mangosteen.”
Abdul Jabbar, Department of Veterinary Parasitology,
University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, Pakistan on Kinetoplastid
Diseases 2006
"The Kinetoplastid diseases meeting was my first travel to
Africa and it was really a different experience for me coming
from South America. Although Senegal and Gambia are not
easy places to deal with, the organization was very good and
allowed us to enjoy our stage helping in any detail."
Alicia Couto, Departamento de Química Orgánica, Facultad
de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales - FCEyN, Universidad de Buenos
Aires, Argentina on Kinetoplastid Diseases 2006
