For the 'Energy, Environment and Resources in Developing Countries' module, students are asked to write a short, 500-word blog on a topic related to the module.  Jim and I are always impressed by the quality of the blogs and diversity of topics that students choose to focus on and we were not disappointed this year.   In this article, we publish three blogs which received amongst the highest marks - Lorne Milne on Russian nuclear investment in Africa, Yixnzi Wang on environmental degradation in the Dianchi lake in China, and Natasha on whether harvesting fog water can empower women.  Congratulations to all our students and particularly to Lorne, Yixnzi and Natasha for their excellent blogs!
