Santo Domingo.- Cuban doctor Fidel Castro Diaz-Balart said at his conference in the Santo Domingo 15th International Book Fair that contemporary science does not meet basic human needs due to an arbitrary distribution of wealth.
During the event, which opened last Wednesday and will run until May 6, the Cuban expert gave a lecture entitled "Contemporary Science in an Unequal World."
Diaz-Balart, a renowned man of science in his country and in Latin America, surprised everyone with his humility. He is the author of a dozen books that, according to Dominican minister of Culture, "honor our Fair," whose program emphasizes scientific topics for the first time.
