Biological Sciences professor | University of Caldas

I am a professor of Department of Biological Sciences at University of Caldas, Colombia, and advisor for this research. I hold a Ph.D. in Biological Sciencies from the UERJ, Brazil (2014) and experience in the area of evolutionary biology, acting mainly in the fields of phylogeny, phylogeography and population genetics. Moreover, I am affiliated with the research group on biodiversity and natural resources (BIONAT).

Biology student | University of Caldas

I am from Colombia and I live in two municipalities La Dorada and Manizales. Since my childhood I was taught the importance of the environment and I took a lot of love to nature. I belonged to the environmental group of my school, I studied a Technologist in Natural Resources Management, I did an internship in a Pastoral where we worked with children and peasant communities, relating our environmental knowledge and their own knowledge, and I participated in urban environmental awareness projects. Currently, I am studying Biology and with what I have learned it is clear to me that I can generate more positive impacts to the environment with the development of new scientific knowledge. And one of my favorite fields is botany, especially plant care and anatomy.

I am a biology student at the University of Caldas in Manizales, Colombia. For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by the natural world, especially biodiversity, evolution of species, genetics and systematics. Now in my time at the university I have realized how important research in the area of natural sciences is to know and understand many things that are in front of our eyes and we do not give them the importance they deserve. This is why I want to start my career in research and contribute new scientific knowledge to society.

I am from Colombia and I am interested in science, with a great admiration for nature, animals and plants, especially the latter that arouse a great interest in me. I like to study and learn about them, their taxonomy, physiology, as well as the uses and benefits they can provide us. I am currently studying biology at the University of Caldas in the city of Manizales, where I am part of the Semillero Phytos where we develop several research projects.

I am a Biology student at the University of Caldas, in Manizales, Colombia. Since I was a child I had a great fascination for nature and its diversity of living beings. For this reason, nowadays my interests around nature are quite wide. From botany, ornithology, herpetology, to ecology. Particularly, I want to contribute to the knowledge and conservation of nature, so this project focused on Anthurium, in terms of acclimatization, collection of specimens in the field and their anatomical study, is a good step to achieve it.

I am a Biology student at the University of Caldas, Colombia. I like the diversity of science, specially the various applications to different organisms that we can apply from molecular biology and genetics. I want to contribute to this project from field work and the anatomical analysis, in addition to sharing experiences and knowledge with the work group.

Biology and Agronomic Engineering student | University of Caldas

I am a biology and agronomic engineering student at the University of Caldas in Manizales, Colombia. I always had a taste for nature, for knowing how organisms develop their vital processes and interactions with their environment, to understand the evolution of all forms of life that inhabit the earth. During my career I became passionate about the study of plants and the cultural relationships that the communities around them have, I would like to continue learning about their taxonomy, behavior and conservation, in order to contribute to reducing the loss of plant diversity that we currently know.

Biology student | University of Caldas

I live in Colombia in a city above the Andes mountains called Manizales. I always knew that what I want to dedicate my life studying is everything related to life, so I enrolled into Biology. Early in my career I realize that one of the most amazing beings to study are plants. I love everything about them, and I am looking for how, based on its taxonomy, anatomy and genetics, to give real solutions to its conservation.
