Research Award - Tiputini Biodiversity Station

More Details:

Was awarded a program of study at the Tiputini Biodiversity Station in eastern Ecuador, Northwest Amazon (Jan, 2009). The grant (Travel, food, lodging and all supplies) is provided and supported by the Boston University School of Education (Science Education Program) and allows up to 10 science educators from around the nation to study along side other one another in the Tuputini Rain Forrest. The intent is to allow science educators look at the biodiversity and conservation efforts there and then to bring that knowledge back to their specific science curriculums at their respective colleges.
