Dear Friends,

The last month has been one of many achievements for the scientific community of Puerto Rico.

At CienciaPR we want celebrate these achievements and give more visibility to these scientific heroes that raise the profile of Puerto Rican science around the world. 

Here we highlight a few of these recent recognitions. If you have others to share with the CienciaPR community, please send a message to contact@cienciapr.org.

To celebrate the holidays and the coming of a new year, we designed a new shirt to highlight the natural wonders and recent discoveries of Puerto Rico. We hope that Puerto Rico continues to serve as source of wonder, inspiration, discovery, and understanding for many generations to come.

Can you identify all the images presented in the design? We have the explanation at the bottom of the image
