Day 7 July 21st

Today was much different from any other day here at Finca La Anita. We did not go on an excursion to go horse back riding or zip-lining, but today was just as exciting as any other. Today was purely dedicated to the reason we're all here, science. We broke out into our groups and worked hard gathering data for our independent experiments. From making ant puree to barricading ant highways, today was interesting to say the least. Never leaving the lab/field save for meals and one quick trip to town, we worked very hard on our experiments and preparing our presentations.

Problem solving was a crucial element in keeping our experiments on track. It was also evident how dedicated each group was, many getting up in the wee hours of the morning to to run trials and gather data (and planning to do so again tomorrow). Each and every meal was delicious, as usual, and kept us energized for our work. Aside from our own experiments, we also viewed dyed bacterial colonies under the microscope to determine whether they were gram-positive or gram-negative. Our science game was on point today, y'all better recognize.

Oh, Annie and Hannah rode a horse too.
