Bobby and Ken fly to Brazil to work at the Universidade Federal de Visosa with Dr Sam Elliot. The visit is funded by Newton Fund for Collaboration grant to Ken and Sam, entitled: “Impact and biological control of a new crop pest in Brazil”. The trip involves lots of field work and a workshop, but is also an opportunity for Ken to give a couple of seminars about “How to get published in an academic journal” (read a Brazilian newspaper article about this), and for Bobby to start his 3 month internship with a small biological pest control company. As well as a chance to catch up with iPEG graduates Fabio de Assis Pinto and Philip Donkersley, both working with Sam.
