Here is a need you might consider addressing... Devise and promote the establishment of an administrative program (s) for folks in academia and science to: - donate airline mileage to reunite and relocate folks and families this is a long term need - donate cell phones and prepaid phone cards - donate Internet/web access The above will require a way to administer and get it done... contacting all the airlines, cell phone, and Internet providers and coming up with an umbrella mechanism. Possibly involve the many science associations in the effort.
