 I'm not exactly sure why UC Davis and Erie have such a good relationship, but it may have something to do with both of them, higher, very good rice scientists, and so there is quite a few people who have gone in both directions, from UC Davis to Erie, and back to UC Davis from Erie, and in my case, multiple times back and forth, and one of the reasons I think is that rice is an important crop in California, and so there are quite a few scientists on the campus who are interested in rice and who get funding to work on rice. So that's led to a natural partnership with Erie. The other thing I think is that, you know, it is a place which is quite well known for education in plant breeding, and not only plant breeding, but in all aspects of agricultural science, and so I think it's been a natural place to look for opportunities for higher studies for some of the good students here, as well as hiring some of the postdocs and other people who have been trained at the university. So I think those are some of the reasons why there's been a good relationship with UC Davis. It also is one part of the US which has a fairly mild climate, so it's probably easier for people from the tropics to adjust to, so that may be another aspect that makes it a attractive place.
