JACSO Visiting scientist Dr. M A D H A V KUMAR Scientist 'D', Birbal Sahni Institute of Palaeobotany, Lucknow worked in our Laboratory under the Exchange of Scientist Program between the Indian National Science Academy and the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. During his visit between 8th September - 16th October, 2002 (Plate 1, figs 2, 5), we worked on the SEM results of partially degraded Malvaceae pollen grains and on the combined (TEM and SEM) investigations on partially degraded cuticles of Cycas rumphii. Further re-search works were started such as, the combined studies on the partially degraded pollen grains of Cycas rumphii MlQ. using the C60 fullerene/benzol solution. International Laboratory activities and news 28 January - 10 February, 2002, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India Prof. Dr. M. KEDVES visited Birbal Sahni Institute of Palaeobotany, Lucknow. Dur-ing his visit on 30lh January, Prof. Dr. A.K. SLNHA, Director of the Birbal Sahni Institute of Palaeobotany was awarded with the Millenium Medal of the Laboratory (Photo 1,2).
