		Lacking capacity, creativity, and credibility, it is a paled and perhaps dangerous shadow of its former self.
		Before the 1960s, scientific development in Cuba was marked by the work of a few outstanding biomedical researchers, such as Tomás Romay, Carlos J. Finlay, Felipe Poey, and Pedro Kourí, and lacked any sponsorship from the state.
		Shortly after the revolution, however, Fidel Castro proclaimed that "Cuba's future must, by necessity, be a future of scientists."
