First was Ramiro, the third education EVER to finish his degree. He worked with elementary students in Guanay, his home town 6 hours from the College, to see how students understood garbage and what happens to it -- and he found that they have a LOT to learn.

Juan Pedro studied a family of beetles, some of which eat other insects, possibly crop pests. He found that the populations of these beetles has some species in common between crop land and forest, and some distinct. It shows that the forest is a possible resevoir for beneficial beetles.

Juan Pedro was working for the Benson Institute on the Altiplano, helping farmers build underground greenhouses (I wrote about that here).
