- Come join me and a great group of junior scholars working in ethnobotany! Must be an enrolled student, but a major in plant science or masters/PhD in ethnobotany is not required--I'm an anthropologist who started working with plants (academically) just a few years ago!
- Classic Amazonian breakfast down at the fish market. Pictured is cucha fish, rumoured to be an aphrodisiac and fertility aid. They have spiky, armored scales and and are bottom feeders. Their suction style mouths enable them to hold onto rocks in fast currents 🐠
