  7. Hi Sam – wondering if you’re still with Sunday Chronicle. I heard you talked about this paper and seen first couple of publications when left for Oz. Surprised now to bump into it again on the cyberworld; not only that it is in full swing but had gone on-line. I’m in deed impressed. Good job – keep it up!

  8. Robert,

    Thanks for your comment – I do believe that you have the wrong person? I’m not too sure who Sam is. Or maybe you meant to post your comment on the SC’s website?

  9. HI,
    I stumbled across the interview about Malaria and intrigued to hear you have had it several times. I am travelling to PNG in June (from Australia) for work. Can you advise on preventative medicine – some sites say see a Dr, some say buy medicine over the counter at a pharmacy – lots of different ideas – do you have any advice?? tks, Jackie

  11. Hi
    Great site. Wonder if its possible to seek support from you to use parts of the materials for a research project on buai chewing, if its a traditional cultural practice of our society. Copyrights clearance ofcourse. Really a project for short docomentary at university here in Melbourne. Acknowledgements guaranteed.
