Biodiesel Course at Iowa State University

Something was said about timing. Clearly, this is an important issue at O'Hare airport where a 2 1/2 hour stop over turned into a 4 1/2 hour stop over and I lost my luggage for the first time.
The Biodiesel course has been very intense and of very high standard.
The morning was taken up with lectures and the afternoon with elective subjects and lab pracs.
The attendees are a diverse and interesting lot from a large number of locations including Argentina and Oz (me).
The photo on the left is the first lab prac where a 6 pack of Oregon beer is being awarded for the best Biodiesel in the room.

I didn't understand the significance of Oregon beer - they don't have Coopers here. :(
