Imagine if you were in a place worse than hell: Tacloban City in the Philippines.
Imagine if you were in the city of Tacloban in the Philippines right now with your family.
No water, no food, no shelter, missing or dead family members, decaying bodies everywhere, armed criminals roaming the streets, another tropical storm on its way, etc., etc., etc….(list of horrors could go on for pages). What would you do? It is really worth taking a few minutes to think about how you might cope with an impossible situation like this, and the real possibility that you or some of your family members will die.
PLEASE CONSIDER DONATING ANY AMOUNT OF MONEY TO ONE OF THE MANY AID AGENCIES THAT ARE HELPING THE VICTIMS IN THE PHILIPPINES. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE! THEY NEED HELP NOW, NOT NEXT WEEK. THANK YOU.

We need to move to Open Access journals so that everyone in the world can freely access knowledge, not just a tiny intellectual elite.
