A spectra-cular never ending summer

Submitted by Nadja Michelle Maldonado Luna on 7 August 2017 - 1:20pm

I can only describe this summer with one word, exhausting. I never thought I would stand at one point of my life and say, “I really want this summer to end”. Now don’t get me wrong, this summer has been one of the most enriching summers of my life. In two months, I’ve learned much more than I will ever learn in a classroom an entire semester. I am passionate about research, and my heart skips a beat every time I enter a lab. Most certainly, I would not feel as happy and eager to keep on learning anywhere else.

Halfway a Powder-ful Summer Experience

Submitted by Nadja Michelle Maldonado Luna on 1 July 2017 - 1:58pm

My name is Nadja M. Maldonado Luna. I am a second year Mechanical Engineering major at the University of Puerto Rico, Ponce Campus. From the moment, I decided to apply for this REU experience I knew that it was going to be an interesting adventure both academically and personally. I knew I was going to have to face some big challenges. The UPR system went on strike early April, so a summer internship would mean for me, to risk finishing my classes to be able to have an experience that would certainly benefit both my present as an undergraduate student and my future as a professional. So far, I’ve met amazing people, from my fellow REU mates and now friends, to my mentor and advisor. All these people have been making my summer a remarkable one.

Dr. Manuel Díaz-Ríos: Promoting neuroscience in the laboratory and the community

Dr. Manuel Díaz-Ríos and his research group

In the laboratory of Dr. Manuel Díaz-Ríos at the University of Puerto Rico’s Institute of Neurobiology, the students and personnel not only study how the motor nervous system functions and how it is affected with trauma or degenerative diseases, but they also learn the value of volunteer work and have the opportunity to teach kids and the community about science. Manolo (as he is known by his friends) firmly believes how important it is for scientists to contribute beyond the walls of the lab through education and mentoring.

Buscando oportunidades de colaboración y conversación en las ciencias - Peter Rosado

Submitted by Peter J Rosado Flores on 27 April 2017 - 4:01pm

Saludos!

Soy Peter Rosado y trabajo en GCSU.

Me gustaría ver si puedo establecer algún tipo de colaboración sea científica o educativa. Una de mis pasiones es motivar a estudiantes jovenes (nivel secundaria, superior, subgraduados) a perseguir una carrera en las ciencias. La educación científica es otra de mis pasiones.
