Worldview Altering, Lifetime Friendships, and All Around Awesome

My experience took my ideas about society, science and nature, and developed them into something that has been vital to my education and development as a person. It was great experience and I made some amazing friends. There are lots of projects going on in a variety of area in ecology at any given time. I spent about 9 weeks there and helped out with: small mammal surveys, bat catching, insect biodiversity surveys, birding, and a number of other things. My experience in Paraguay opened up a lot of doors for me later on. The next summer I was able to get a paid internship at STRI working in Panama.
