Fieldwork in Curacao

EEoS Lab researchers Ellie Laetz, Laia Burgues Palau, Bianca Parodi and Leti de Bonilla Cosculluela are back from a 5-week expedition to Curacao, a small island country in the Southern Caribbean Sea off the coast of Venezuela. We collected data for five (!!!) projects included in our larger research themes:

-"Solar-Powered Animals in a Changing Climate",

-"How Solar-powered Slugs Retain Stolen Chloroplasts",

-"All about light..."

-"New photosymbioses" x2

We will share updates as we analyze the data in the coming months (years?).


Some highlights from our trip include:

- lots of scientific diving (75 dives amongst the four of us)

- 18+ species of sea slugs including all of the species we were trying to find for research

- a night of salsa dancing

- lots of cheese arepas and coconut batidos!
