We have a few more highlights from our trip this past January! During the trip, we continued making progress in removing invasive species from a local ecosystem. We also watched a documentary about Vietnam, Puerto Rico.

Yesterday, we explored the rainforest, went swimming at the beach, and ended the day with ice cream. 🌳🏖️🍦 What an amazing time! 🤩 We’re now all relaxed and ready for more work today! 💪

[BioMASS Laboratory @BioMASSlab]

Lots of fun yesterday! We spent the day removing invasive species from a local ecosystem.🌱🌿 We also noted what types of trees and plants exist in the area with a participatory mapping app 📱, and we met the founder of Caras con Causa! 😄

[BioMASS Laboratory @BioMASSlab]

We had a great first day! 😎 We spent the morning exploring the local ecosystem. 🐜🌱 We then took measurements and pictures for potential new rainwater collection cisterns at a local school. We ended the day with volunteer work at a community center and reflections! 😁👏

🌞 From Puerto Rico to Illinois, our summer REU projects have been keeping us busy! Exploring early flood warning systems, ecosystem services, mangrove propagation, and wastewater effects on local ecosystems and public health, we've been having a fun time! 🌱 #SummerResearch 🌳🔬

[Daniela Markazi @DanielaMarkazi]

All smiles today because I passed my qualifying exam! I officially leveled up from being a PhD student to a PhD candidate! 🥳

On Friday, we had a tour of the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez. We enjoyed learning about the history of the buildings and about the different university traditions that take place on campus. Here are our favorite photos! 📷 We ended the week with dinner with a view. 🌅

[BioMASS Laboratory @BioMASSlab]

We’ve been having a great time in Puerto Rico! During the first few days of research training, students learned about high-performing teams 🤝, types of literature 📚, citation managers 📖, and stakeholder engagement 🤗. We then reviewed our research projects for the summer. 🔬

[BioMASS Laboratory @BioMASSlab]

We’re heading back to Puerto Rico today! 🇵🇷 We’ll be spending the upcoming week working on research training and a design challenge for our #REU (Research Experiences for Undergraduates) program. 💪 @IllinoisABE
