NEW DELHI--A devastating act of nature has led to the first-ever official talks on possible scientific collaborations between India and Pakistan. Last week, three senior Indian science administrators met in Islamabad with seven of their Pakistani counterparts to explore mitigation strategies in the wake of last fall's deadly earthquake in Kashmir. Seismology has long been a touchy subject for these rival nuclear powers. Joint research projects in weather, climate, and agricultural sciences were also discussed.

India is expected to host a second meeting later this year and has offered Pakistan its touring "science train" exhibit touting the country's accomplishments.
