Experiential Science Education - Yanayacu, Ecuador 2010

Why did you decide to go on the Yanayacu Research Trip? I am interested in sciences and I got to go to Ecuador.
What was the most important thing you learned? A group of diverse people who take a trip together can gain a valuable experience together.
How has this experience changed you? I have immersed myself in nature, unlike any other experience I have had. It is no longer just a faceless goal to preserve nature and beauty.
What are your plans for the future? I don't know. I am not sure if I am going to keep this major. Maybe change to Marine Biology. Law school is an option. I would like to study international environmental law. I also want to travel.
What advice would you give a young scientist? Seize the moment. Just do it! Spend time away from your comfort zone. Take that first step
