Eighteen new specialists, trained to read nutrition in atoms, graduate for Africa

The first 18 students have graduated from an IAEA-supported master's programme in nutrition and nuclear techniques — 16 at the International University of Rabat in Morocco and two at North-West University in South Africa. The graduates, from 11 African countries including Benin, Mali, Rwanda and Zimbabwe, learned to use stable-isotope methods — safe techniques that measure how the body absorbs and uses nutrients — to produce the reliable data governments need to fight malnutrition well.
