Experiential Science Education - Yanayacu, Ecuador 2010
Jennifer Bell
Hometown: Laramie, Wyoming
University/Department: University of Wyoming/Department of Molecular Biology and Spanish
Why did you decide to go on the Yanayacu Research Trip? My sister and I have a competition to get to all the Spanish speaking countries first and this put me in the lead. It sounded like fun and I love the tropics.
What was the most important thing you learned? I learned about insects. How has this experience changed you? I might have to wait awhile to answer that question.
What are your plans for the future? I am going to finish my degree and maybe do World Teach or go to graduate school for molecular plant biology or conservation biology.
What advice would you give a young scientist? Don't get overwhelmed. I have to keep reminding myself of that. If you don't know everything now, it is ok, you have time to learn.
