Dhanishta Meetoo teamed up with Manisha Bheeroo (BSc Food Science and Technology Alumni), one student in California and another one in London, to participate in the international Thought For Food Challenge. Although, their team is not among the 10 selected finalists (there were 479 participants) their participation is highly commendable and deserves a big applause. This is also a good demonstration of how they have used social media tools, freely available, to prepare their project. This is an example that ought to be followed by all of our students and staff alike.
Well done Team.
