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.

    UPA raffled a copy of my book The Costs and Benefits of Animal Experiments. This student was the winner. I pitied the poor lad - it's quite a scientific book and hard enough to read for a native English speaker, let alone someone who is not! Still, as my PhD supervisor said of the bulky thesis on which it was based, 'it'll always come in useful for pressing flowers'!
    Several students wanted to be photographed with me, which did my ego no end of good! :)
    But the real stars of the show were the alternatives.
