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.

    At the end Dr. Alberto kindly presented me with my very own venipuncture mannequin, made by one of his students!
    Note the size differences. I kept telling the girls men need more food, but no-one believed me. I was right, though...
    Around this time we also visited the veterinary school at the Universidad Ricardo Palma in Lima. Two of our major alternatives advocates are faculty members there: Drs Alberto Delgado Alburqueque (second from left), and Mauricio Jara Aguirre (right). The Dean is at the far left. The Dean and faculty were very positive about alternatives.
