Boggy Nights 

Prowling a lonely swamp at twilight? It’s just another night for students in the lab of Biology Professor Javier Tabima Restrepo, who venture into the wild to conduct research that aims to understand the diversity, genomics, evolution, and ecology of microfungal species associated with multiple hosts and ecosystems. On this night, the students were collecting frogs for an extended study. 

The class of 2029 greets the day at orientation.
