Pre-field work

Today we got a tour of the research center. I got a bunch of pictures of plants and a few of birds and other animals.  I would if never thought that a species of a pineapple grew in the area. After the tour of the research center, we went on a hike down a trail to the Java river. It was a long hike but it was worth it because of diversity of trees and plants that I would have never seen. My group then got together and figured out our hypothesis’s and a plan on how to answer our hypothesis’s. We figured we would do a BMI sampling and habitat assessment sampling in one stream with three different habitats.

Finishing up the poster

Today we put the final touches on our poster by inputting our graphs and wording. The Panama visitors also gave a demonstration on how they make the string to make their bags. At the end of the day a few of us shared some of our culture with the panama visitors and they did the same. Kayonnie from Yakima explain her tattoos and how some represents her dad, mom and brothers and how they protect her. Nicole and Deb from a Wisconsin tribe presented Lucia from panama with tradition ear rings from their tribe. Paula from a northern tribe in California showed the panama visitors a video of a traditional dance. Brea from the fort hall tribe in Idaho explained how to play stick games.

First day in Costa Rica

Today was a good day compared to yesterday. Yesterday was so long. Anyways today I got to met the mentors and fellow students. My mentor is Deb, and Jacob is also in the same group as me. Deb explained what types of data we would be collecting and it sounds like a stream habitat assessment. I am excited to get back into the stream and conduct surveys, but I am not excited about the snakes. The food here at the hotel is really good. Paula is pretty hilarious because of how she joked with the waiter all the time. I can’t wait for the rest of the Costa Rica experience.
