Summer in Costa Rica—Some Birmingham-Southern faculty members and students are getting the experience of trekking through humid rainforests as they study and do research in Costa Rica this summer. Dr. Megan Gibbons, associate professor of biology, and Dr. Pete Van Zandt, visiting professor of biology, took five students to Central America in mid-June for eight weeks of tropical ecology research. “The students are assisting Pete and I in our research projects, while also conducting their own projects,” says Gibbons. “They have the option of earning BI 393 Independent Study academic credit for their research.” Pictured at a dried up swamp in a lowland tropical rainforest in the Sarapiqui region of Costa Rica are (from left) Thiago Queiroz, Ron MacBeth, Rebekah Pine, Gibbons, Kimmie Farris, and Scott Shashy.
