Last Saturday will stay with me forever. It was September 5th, 2015 and I had traveled to Puerto Rico (3,600+ miles and over 10 hours) for the second workshop of the Semillas de Triunfo (Seeds of Success) STEM Ambassadors Program, in Humacao. This program, created by Ciencia Puerto Rico in collaboration with Yale University and the Amgen Foundation, gives middle school girls the opportunity to learn about careers in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) and explore how through these disciplines they can become leaders and agents of change in their communities. The program is near and dear to my heart and me and my colleagues have been working really hard on it (three workshops down, one to go).

Como consecuencia de nuestro trabajo como cientificos ambientales generalmente vamos al campo con un grupo diverso de científicos. Algunos estudian la química del lugar, otros la geología, la microbiología, etc. Pero generalmetne cuando planeamos estas campañas de campo, pasamos meses de preparación y coordinación; son proyectos que se escriben en conjunto y que cada día, cada muestra, cada posibilidad ya esta bien calculada. 

Lo que hicimos en el Taller  del Deep Carbon Observatory Early Career Scientist, fue algo para mi impresionante.
