We would like to add to our team a highly motivated student interested in working at the interface between Ecology and Geomorphology.  Our project seeks to understand how variation in soil fertility influences plant traits that play a critical role in slope stability in tropical mountains.  The student participating in this project will learn about soils, plants, and roots and will have the opportunity to develop a research project.

I have often wondered what controls my responses during a competition. There are many stimuli that affect my body such as anxiety, chills, stress during diet and weighing, tiredness, the need to rest before the competition, and thoughts about my performance. The nervous system controls all my thoughts, feelings, and movements at all times. How? Scientists have shown that the nervous system receives messages about sensations of touch, hearing, and vision directed through the spinal cord and nerves. The brain integrates the signal and conducts a response to the organs of the human body.
