Peruvian lecture tour in August

In August I was invited by Peruvian organisation UPA to deliver a lecture tour on humane teaching methods, animal experimentation, the animal welfare standards of veterinarians, and other animal protection topics. They worked me hard – I delivered 20 main presentations primarily at four conferences, participated in eight veterinary and medical school meetings with faculty members, four alternatives exhibitions, and five press conferences and media interviews. However, they also fed me well, and gave me a little time off to explore the Andes (see pics). Don't miss the published story of this adventure! I'm grateful to Swiss organization AG STG for sponsoring the tour, and to InterNICHE for supplying the alternatives.

    Afterwards, the Dean kindly presented me with this memento of the school.
    After a three day escape to the mountains, I arrived via an overnight bus in Lima at dawn. Within a few hours (which included a meeting with a faculty member from La Agraria University - who was very positive about alternatives), UPA had me on a plane however, and six of us flew to Tacna at the southern end of Peru.
    We started with a press conference.
