Inside E-LAW: Interns, Meche Lu

Interns at E-LAW U.S.

Interns help E-LAW U.S. staff give advocates around the world the support they need. During the spring term three students interned in our office: Amos Nadler is a pre-law student at Lane Community College, Sayo Fukakusa is an environmental studies major at the University of Oregon and Clara Barnes is a political science major at the University of Oregon. Thanks to all of them for their hard work for E-LAW!

Meche Lu: Science Circuit Rider

Thanks to support from the Ford Foundation, Meche Lu has begun work as E-LAW U.S. Science Circuit Rider for Latin America. Meche will travel throughout Latin America, working one-on-one with E-LAW advocates to give them the scientific expertise they need to protect the environment and public health. Meche`s position is modeled after E-LAW`s highly successful Technology Circuit Rider program.

Meche has offered her expertise to the E-LAW network since 1991. She holds degrees in pharmacology and biochemistry from San Marcos University in Lima, a certificate in environmental management, and is an expert in the pharmacological aspects of Peruvian plants.
