[MPWG] Want to study the medicinal plants of the Amazon rainforest?

[Nathaniel Putnam]

Marjorie et al.,

We are unable, due to university regulations, to except any  
non-students at this time. While the listed deadlines have passed, we  
have been able to extend them. The total cost of the course and  
airfare is around $3,500. The cost itself is $2000 and includes all  
lodgings, meals, instruction and course materials. The airfare is  
Round Trip from New York to Peru and runs about
$1,300 at the moment. For anyone interested, please contact me ASAP as  
we won't be extending our deadlines much further.

Thank you for your interest,

Nathaniel
