Congrats! Is nice to see young female Smalltalkers in Latin America and other places of the Global South getting such recognitions. They will be important contributors in keeping this community vibrant and diverse. Thanks also to all mentors and members who have welcomed us as novices, with such warm and generosity.

Hi,
We would like to share good news from Bolivia. Our student Alejandra Siles participated in the ICSE Student Research Competition (Undergrad category). She present a tool called TOAD, which is a tool for recommending source code selection alternatives for the extract method refactoring. TOAD was developed in Pharo. You may find the prototype on http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~juampi/Toad
Alejandra was selected by the ACM SRC (Student Research Competition) as the best undergrad student. After 3 rounds (writing a short paper, writing and defending a poster, and presenting her results), she finished 1st in the undergrad category. This is a fantastic results that really show the quality of the research being done in Bolivia. You might find some pictures in the attached files.
