Prof. Nair is a Visiting Professor to our University and also a Consultant in two projects of Chair of Date Palm Research. His previous visit cemented ties of our Chair with his laboratory.

Prof. Nair is visiting King Saud University as Visiting Professor. I visited College of Pharmacy to publicize his two talks. To my surprise, there was a photo-exhibition installed by Dental College students. For your idea of the location, Dental College and Pharmacy college share right and left part, respectively, of the same building. And they are right beside the College of Medicine and King Khalid University Hospital. The second surprise was that the exhibition was 6th, which means the student body has recently become active. And the third surprise - slightly biased - I didn't expect dental students to find enough time for taking good photographs. Well, I admitted already - I was biased. My astonishment is justified because some photographs displayed there required understanding of advanced technical skills and not just point and shoot. Anyway, the photographs were of fair quality. Some of course were outstanding. A glimpse of the exhibition for you - Enjoy!
