🎉 Bootcamp Wrap-up! 🎉

We toured the Center for River Studies & learned the Mississippi river's vital role. Also, the LSU's Shared Instrument Facilities, discovering cutting-edge equipment.

And participated in a panel on work-life balance. A huge THANK YOU to everyone!

Wrapping up the 3rd week of bootcamp 🥾. The scholars practiced hypothesis generation from observation.

The rain did not stop these future scientists, who observed in detail the plants of animals of the Bluebonnet swamp.

When did Reese's and Hershey's separate as a different "candy species"? 🍬➡️🍫

Recreating a candy phylogeny to learn basics of building a phylogenetic tree! Comparing traits among candies and trace thier "evolutionary history", is a sweet lesson.

Thanks @tropicalbotany.bsky.social for setting up!

We ended our first week of Bootcamp with a fun activity, bowling! 🎳

We aim to bring the cohort close to each other with activities outside the classroom.

Welcome cohort 2025-2026!
