What were your goals for this course in Peru and to what extent did you realize these goals? My first goal for this course was to learn more about plant functional traits. Specifically I was interested in learning methods, the gaps in literature, and how my PhD project fits within […]

Hello! My name is Jocelyn Navarro. I am from California and recently graduated from Connecticut College. I will be starting my PhD at the University of Arizona in Brian Enquist’s lab.

It was four days after the end of the pre-course that I packed my bags, ready for the actual in-person Plant functional Trait Course (PFTC) in Peru. I had a lot of expectations – both science and non-science related. In as much as I looked forward to exploring the forest […]

Of course, it is impossible to think back on the course without seeing it in the context of the pandemic. I was fortunate to have made it out of the country with the Oxford contingent before the borders closed, and I am especially grateful to the PFTC leadership for how […]

Hei! Jeg har foreløpig kun vært hos Havforskningsinstituttet i Bergen én gang, men på den dagen pluss erfaringen jeg fikk i løpet av toktet jeg har fått være med på (innlegg om det kommer også) tenkte jeg å fortelle om innsamlingen av data om livshistorietrekkene til havmus. Havmus (Bilde fra […]

Blog post 2/4 I have now spent 100 hours working on the project, and I must admit that its been frustrating at times. In February, around the same time as the seminar, proved to be particularly challenging. The hours spent cursing at PubMed’s finicky MESH-terms , gradually turned more light-hearted. […]

I’m so happy for having had the opportunity of participating in the PFTC5. It was very interesting to learn about traits and how to measure them. The course combined different ways of doing science, as taking online lectures, discussing papers, giving oral presentations, writing proposals and analyzing data. Discovering Wayqecha […]
