The inaugural six day conference of the “Bahamas Advanced Study Institute and College” (BASIC) concluded recently at the Stella Maris Resort, Long Island, Bahamas, with two evening talks by the principal conference organizers and founders of BASIC, Prof. Eduardo Guendelman of BGU  and Prof. Thomas Curtright of the University of Miami.

“We identified Stella Maris as being ideal for BASIC due to its location, splendid amenities at the Resort Club and the over-riding tranquillity of Long Island, providing us with the perfect environment for deep thought and provoking discussion” said Prof. Thomas Curtright. “We have been working closely with Stella Maris Village Limited, the British owned, Bahamas registered development Company there, with the intention of building a new permanent home for BASIC, offering appropriate study facilities for post-doctoral physics and related fields, but also advanced student facilities for local Bahamian and international students too.”
