During breakfast we heard monkeys outside....we went out the dining room door and saw two white faced monkeys playing in the trees. As we stood there looking at them, they seemed to be laughing at us!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After that we all loaded into the wagon behind the tractor. We rode for 45 minutes into the dry forest and walked for 1 1/2 hours along the river with our guide Freddie. He pointed out many different trees and leaves, and told us many interesting things about the dry forest. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After lunch we got ready to go back to Cabuyal again, to see what the beach looks like in the daytime and to have some fun in the ocean. Everybody seemed to have a great time body surfing the waves. Dinner was a BBQ on the beach. We all cheered when Costa Rica won their soccer game today. After a beautiful day at the beach, we watched an amazing sunset and then returned to Horizonte for a cool shower and some free time before packing up and getting ready to head home tomorrow. See you all soon!</div>

Our first day at Horizonte! We started with a meeting discussing the Turtle Tagging trip, it was presented by Tyler, Jake and Brynn who went last December. After that the first year students were sent out to study and observe the Acacia trees here in the dry forest. After observing the behavior of the ants on the Acacia tree the students discovered that they are an example of perfect mutualism. After dinner we prepared ourselves for a long night on the beach. We arrived at Cabuyal (the beach) at 8:00pm. The students that experienced the turtle tagging in Dec. led groups up and down the coast looking for tracks of nesting turtles. The rest of us laid on the beach under a clear starry sky, many caught a few winks between their walks. Our bus driver is the one who spotted tracks. All of us gathered and waited for the turtle to start laying her eggs. We all got to witness a Black Sea turtle lay a clutch of eggs and then we continued to watch as she covered her eggs. I must say we were all in awe of this special event. We stayed and walked behind her as she made her way safely back into the ocean. We returned back to Horizonte at 1:30am. Time to get some rest before another big day tomorrow.</div>

Today was our last day at Finca La Anita. Many of us woke up
tired after staying up a bit later then we normally go to bed. This was because
we were doing last minute editations (patent pending new word) to our project.
We presented our projects shortly after breakfast. The first year students went
first followed by the second year students. They were very interesting and we
learned a lot of things from each other. We also had some other people from
California who came to watch the presentations. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Once the presentations were done we had Amy from the Peace
Corps who came and told us about what she does here in Colonia Libertad,
working with the locals on community and economic development. Afterwards we
walked down into the nearby village and helped them weed a parcel of land for 2
hours, the locals were very happy with our hard work!!!! They gave us food and
some really good peach juice. We learned that the resort we are staying in is
vital to the economy of the village. After the great snack we went to their
shop and had the opportunity to buy some homemade soap :) Then we walked down the
gravel road and played football (soccer) with the locals. It was a rousing and exhausting
game. Then we had a bit of free time and most of us used it to relax and then
we went to dinner. Now we need to pack because we are off to Horizonte tomorrow
after breakfast! I am really glad we don’t have to leave Costa Rica yet.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-size: 11.5pt;">Today the first year
students focused on getting their presentations ready for tomorrow’s final presentations.
After lunch we went Sonsoria, a local favorite where we experienced beautiful
hot springs and waterfalls. We swam in
the frigid water pool under the falls and then proceeded to another smaller
waterfall and pool and swam there. On
the last part of our adventure, we went to two hot springs. We had an enjoyable time relaxing in the
natural volcanic heated pools. When we
got back to the beginning we were greeted with ice cold juice and cookies, and
after the long walk it was a refreshing treat. We had a fantastic dinner of sea
bass and then the students started their practice presentations. The students were given honest, constructive
criticism on their posters and presentations. All the groups have a great start
and the presentations in the morning should be phenomenal. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11.5pt;">Today was a great day for
the Second year students. All of us made huge progress on our
bioinformatics projects as well as had a great time doing an experimental hike.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.5pt;">We all finished our
PowerPoint presentations for the big presentation tomorrow morning.
We had to be done this morning before we had lunch. We then went on
our “experimental” hike. After we returned from our experimental hike
this afternoon, each of us did a practice presentation for only the five Second
year students and Gabriel. We each tried to help one another with our
presentations. Gabriel provided each of us with great suggestions to
improve our presentations. We all sat on the deck after dinner and made
changes to our presentations.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.5pt;">The experimental hike that
the Second year students went on this year was a really cool experience.
We took a tractor ride for about 30 minutes long to a nearby village.
From there we hiked through some farmland until we got to the edge of the
rainforest. We hiked on a trail and ended up doing some climbing for 20
minutes. Each of us had to balance on rocks and trees in order to
not fall down the side of the ridge and into the river. At the end of the
trail we got to the waterfall. It was a very pretty cascade. We
went swimming in the pool of water at the bottom of the waterfall, that can be
described in two words: cold and rocky. It was a fun time!</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Second year update by Matt<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hola! Today was very long for us second year students. We
spent the entire day hammering through information on the database and
constructing our presentations that will be shared on Friday. We even spent all
afternoon working and did not partake in any activities. All this hard work is
bound to pay off in the end since all of us are getting some very great
results! In addition, we were given a brief introduction to the possible Seeds
of Change database. Through this database, previous second year students could
do bioinformatics to research possible drugs for diseases as a job. Later,
after working, we headed to a local’s home where we prepared an authentic Costa
Rican meal, which was quite good. As for now, we work on into the night!<o:p></o:p></div>

First year update by Nathan<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Hey, everyone back home! This was probably the longest day
for the first year students as from dawn to dusk, the day was spent on our
investigations and presentations. Despite the consistent drizzle/downpour of
rain, we all kept pushing hard through our experiments. Battling the adversity,
each group was required to make adjustments to their experiments to even be
able to finish in time! After hours and hours of hard work, we were able to get
a break from science and go to a local family’s house for dinner. We were all
able to join in and help prepare the meal before enjoying all of the food. It’s
fantastic being able to see the work that local Costa Rican families go through
every day. Now, it’s time to go start working on our poster boards and
presentations. All our work will finally be shown off as our final
presentations loom Friday morning.<o:p></o:p></div>

All the students enjoyed a relatively rainless night, which
was a pleasant change from the patter of rain on our cabin roofs. First year teams: Atta, <span style="background: white; color: #545454;">Necrotizing fasciitis</span>, and
Phenomenal Phoenix, presented a short analysis of three different diseases; tuberculosis,
plague, and cholera.We then worked on our science experiments for the rest of the morning. After a delicious lunch of braised chicken and a casserole
of rice, cheese, and heart of palm, we set out in the pouring rain towards the
river. First we took a tractor as far as we could, then we traveled,
single-file, through mud, rain and bugs for five miles until we reached the
river. By that time, we were thoroughly soaked with a few inches of water in
our boots and ready to swim. The rivers water was around 60 degrees, which seemed
very cold at first, but once we were immersed it was quite refreshing. On the hike
back we saw three keel-billed toucans in one tree. Our forest guide/naturalist
Juan Carlos got all three in the view of his telescope. We could see the unique coloration of their
beaks! Once we had cleaned up, everyone enjoyed a dinner of pork, sweet salsa,
and fried yucca. Pablo’s birthday was today, we surprised him with a card
signed by everyone, and the kitchen staff baked a delicious spiced carrot cake.
Typically the groups do not have an activity after dinner, but tonight we went
on a second hike with Juan Carlos through the rainforest. His flashlight and
around 16 others lighted the dark path along a stream. The highlight of our
night hike was seeing glass frogs, various insects and nocturnal birds.<o:p></o:p></div>

First Year Update by Sophie<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This morning was started with a pleasant, melodious sound
pattern of a toucan. After a night full of thunderous raindrops clattering
against our metal roof, it was refreshing to wake up to the sound of this early bird. Just a couple days earlier,
Pablo had asked us, “Why do toucans fly in pairs?” “Because two can!”(haha)
Unfortunately this morning I only spotted one toucan. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our morning science began with checking our bacterial
cultures, Escovopsis cultures, tend to our foundling ant gardens and a conduct
a team meeting. Our team task was to prepare our experiment proposal for our
peers, as well as our resident experts. Each of the three groups was tasked to
present their question, hypotheses, complete with rationale, experimental
design, and expected results. We were given two hours, a set of colorful
markers, and one large sheet of paper to complete the seemingly impossible task
of preparing a professional presentation and make a group decision. When the time
came, we presented with the noise of deafening rain in the background, inciting
the presenters to use outdoor voices! All feedback was much appreciated. We
then received a sneak-peak of the lab notebooks, full of experiments, from
previous first-year students. The insight was much needed. After a tense
morning full of decisions, we were grateful for a riotous ride down the canopy
of the rainforest , presented by our afternoon activity, the zipline. Upon
arrival to the Canopy, we took a short walk across many wooden bridges and up
many stone stairs to the first of eleven zipline launch-pads. As the wind blew
the hair off our faces through the helmets, we looked around the forest for the
winged, gliding, leafcutter ant. There were no sightings, so we enjoyed the
rest of the wires by going upside down, in pairs, and finally super-fast in the
final ride. During the final two hours
before dinner, our team collected one more Atta colony for our experiment and
education. Our last scientific activities of the day were a brief summary of a
bacteria highlight, another check of our bacterial cultures and colonies, and a
rough draft of our team experiment procedure plan. Because it is not raining,
it is safe to go back to my cabin and I bid you goodnight.<o:p></o:p></div>

Second Year Update by Caroline<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We began our day by making progress our projects. Gabriel was constantly trolling around our
work table answering questions. After a
solid hour and a half of working, we got a lecture on Omics from Gabriel. Thanks to our bed sheet screen and projector,
we were introduced to various forms of
visual representations that we can use in our own projects to represent our
data. We also learned about many
different applications of bioinformatics, ranging from studying a single gene to
a strand of RNA. Our lecture was interrupted
by a power outage, which caused the Wi-Fi do go down. We finished the presentation by crowding
around Gabriel’s laptop. After the
presentation, we were unable to continue with our projects because of the
absence of the internet. Instead, we
played a few games of Cribbage before going zip lining with the first year
students. After flying through the
forest canopy via harness and cable, we returned to the ranch only to discover
that the internet was back on. We made
up for our lost time in the morning by working for a few hours before
dinner. By the end of the day, many of
the second year students are suffering from, as we call it, bioinformatics
blues. Tomorrow we will attempt to
straighten out wrinkles in our projects. <o:p></o:p></div>

Today started out with another
delicious breakfast of eggs, beans, ham and rice. Later in the morning, the first and second
years split into groups and worked on their studies. The first years learned how to excavate
leaf-cutter nests. Next, they
transferred the fungus gardens to sterilized containers in order to better
observe them. In the afternoon, the whole
group set off for a horseback ride. For
two hours, we rode through the rainforest, up muddy slopes and through
spectacular vines. At one point, we
stopped in a clearing far up in the hills – we could view the whole valley from
our high perch. The cloud-shrouded
volcanic peaks in the distance towered over us.
We could even pick out the Finca La Anita dining hall’s red roof far in
the distance. After the long ride, everybody
was sore. Part of the group stopped in
town to watch the end of the US vs. Portugal soccer game. The rest of the group jumped in the pond for
a refreshing swim. The day finished off
with a scrumptious dinner and dessert of
fried plantains with cacao nibs – mmm!~~~~~Alex<o:p></o:p></div>

Second year update by Caroline and Brynn........ Today
the second year students each developed a research question and hypothesis for
their project. Topics of interest ranged
from studying virus and bacteria genomes to the metagenomes of soil samples. We each created a couple of powerpoint slides
to present our research ideas to each other.
We had a projector to show the slides, but we had to make a makeshift
screen to project them on by stapling a white bed sheet to the wall of the
porch. We shared our ideas with the
group and gave each other feedback. Gabriel gave us a short lecture about isolating
DNA and how genome sequencing machines work.
Fun fact: in the last ten years,
the cost of sequencing 10 million base pairs has dropped from 10K to less than 10
cents. After working for a few hours in
the morning, we joined the first year students in the afternoon for the trail
ride and soccer watching and/or swimming.
Tomorrow we will get our projects underway and begin our data analysis!<br />

Hawks in Costa RIca 2014http://www.blogger.com/profile/00733337582012691027noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8211268495116866768.post-45819790280640100792014-06-21T20:21:00.001-07:002014-06-21T20:48:50.894-07:00Day 2<div class="MsoNormal">
After a long and busy day of travel, everyone enjoyed a good
night of sleep. Our day started with the
sound of howler monkeys ringing through the rainforest. We all ate an amazing Costa
Rican breakfast of fresh fruit,eggs,toast, juice, beans, and rice. We also
tried the <b><u>good</u></b> chocolate (dark
chocolate that they make here on the farm)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Afterwards we were given an eye opening educational presentation
by Pablo, who is the owner of Finca La Anita. I personally found it extraordinarily
inspiring learning about the future carbon neutrality, the lack of army, and
the 30% of the country that is dedicated to nature. It was so beautiful I
almost cried! -----Todd<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
First year students and a couple of second year students
went on a farm tour with Pablo. The tour showed us all of the amazing plants
around the area, including coconuts, plantains, cacao, macadamia, yucca, mangos
and more! Coming from Minnesota, it’s hard to imagine being able to walk outside
and pick mangos fresh off of a tree. In
typical rainforest fashion, it started pouring rain while we were on our way
back. Attempting to stay dry, Pablo,
Raymond, and I sprinted across cinderblock paths in the rainforest, ducked
under logs, and quickly waded across a fast-moving stream.---- - Maxim<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I had coconut water. -Todd<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Next
was lunch, It was very delicious. After lunch we geared up to go to the small
village near Finca La Anita; Colonia Libertad. There were a variety of single
story houses, all with large gardens with chickens. We bought ice cream and
candy in the village. Upon return we started working on our research projects. We
got into groups, did a quick lab, and went on a preliminary ant-search. After a
quick break, everyone went to dinner of chicken, mashed potatoes, beans and
squash. For dessert we had a great pound
cake and ice cream. Then we had free time telling stories on the porch.---- - Isaac<o:p></o:p><br />

I am alive mom! -----Todd</div>

Hawks in Costa RIca 2014http://www.blogger.com/profile/00733337582012691027noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8211268495116866768.post-35288675371778203822014-06-20T21:30:00.000-07:002014-06-20T21:30:07.678-07:00Day 1<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
To start off with, let’s first
recognize the parents who droves us ALL to the airport, starting our day bright
and early at 3:50 a.m. Aside from their commitment to prepare us for such an unfavorable hour, our parents,
mine in particular, assisted greatly with the packing aspect. SPEAKING OF PACKING: Before we had even
entered security, we had to “juggle” some luggage amongst some bags. Once that issue was settled, the flight to
Atlanta was rather uneventful, until we landed. IT WAS HOT AND HUMID. Once taking off again for a much longer
flight, I’ll admit I personally slept for 3 hours (I being “Jason”). Because
this flight was longer than the 1st one, the majority of us fell asleep for
half of the trip. When we landed in Costa Rica, we had to wait for a long time
to get checked by customs. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">After all of this, we realized that the weather
was hot and humid, and throughout the bus trip to the restaurant we saw a lot
of people celebrating Costa Rica’s win against Italy in the 2014 WORLD CUP. The
national team has qualified to the next round of this event in a group with
amazing teams such as Uruguay, England and Italy. Even when we were eating, we
heard cheering, honking and waving Costa Rica flags all over the place. It was
a great day for the locals and for us to visit. </span></div>

After eating, we took the same bus
to the FINCA LA ANITA; it was long trip because it was 2 hours and 30 minutes
(with the last 30 min of dusty and bumpy road). When we got to the farm, we
were impressed by the nice cabins and environment. We got a little over an hour
to get unpacked and cozy in our new homes for the next week. After that, we met
on “the porch”, where we picked out boots to wear from another room (due to
stuff like coral snakes that could harm us if stepped on). After that, we were
informed about safety information and other general information (we also got to
taste homemade nuttela-similar spread made from cacao beans and Spanish almond
cream) before setting out on a less-than-half-hour hike. Surprisingly, we got
rained on near the end and most of us ended up soaked! Hence the word “rain
forest”. After drying off and taking a break, we had
dinner of fish and vegies with pumpkin soup! Yum! Then we wrote this blog, and
(except for us writers) headed off to bed. See you tomorrow with more exciting
adventures!<o:p></o:p></div>
