At 106, grandpa died today. I can’t allow myself feeling sadness for a timely and dignified passing. I do feel nostalgia reflecting on his life. I want to let you all know he lived on this earth for a long time, through historic events, outliving many, quietly minding his own business. He lived free

Things went so great, we rewarded ourselves by hiking up the tallest peak in Panama. Volcán Barú, 11,401 ft elev. It was a great bonding experience. Body hurt for 2-3 days but so totally worth it 6/8

Podostemaceae grow on rocks. This, and the questions I am interested in, led to geologist going us on the trip. I am so thankful to my wonderful collaborator Carlos Jaramillo at STRI. He provided the ideal conditions for an incredibly productive trip 5/8

The success of this trip was possible only from the connections and friendship we made with locals. Edilio helped me so much with logistics. I have deep admiration and respect for his knowledge of nature, curiosity, and love for adventure. So proud to call him my friend 4/8

We were set to collect river plants and visited rivers, streams, waterfalls, and rapids without previous records for Podostemaceae. We found them in almost all! as well as other cool plants too. Seriously, get your feet wet 2/8

Hello BlueSky! Giving this a try.
