Dani and Victor

Two more grads! Yesterday was vet student Dani Chambilla, the sister of graduate Rosa and tourism student Guido. She looked at different methods of measuring bacterial contamination of milk from udder infections (mastitis), and found that the California Mastitis Test was reliable and easy for farmers to use.

Today was education student Juan Victor Ajllahuanca, who worked at the elementary school where he himself studied, examining how students learn math in third grade. He found that students had more problems with multiplication than with division, because it uses more steps (lots of carrying numbers into the next column, something less common with basic division done at that level). The teacher in that classroom was grateful for his observations, and his help with the class when he wasn't doing his research.

Congratulation to these two young new grads!
