Day 3

 5-17-2025

  • Panama City was such an incredible experience! I especially loved how lively the city became at night—it felt like the energy never stopped. The people of Panama were so warm and welcoming, which made our time there even more memorable. The image below shows the airport in Panama City, where we caught our flight to David, Panama. While David is smaller than Panama City, it still offers plenty of great restaurants and unique features that made it just as exciting in its own way.

Beneath this layer, a compacted clay layer is visible, which significantly restricts root penetration. Based on our observations, the roots tend to spread horizontally and remain confined within the top three inches of organic-rich soil.

    Day 10

    5-24-2025 It has been an incredible experience working and collaborating with the Ngäbe-Buglé tribe. Their deep passion and connection to what we know as environmental science is inspiring. I truly hope to return one day and bring more students to help strengthen relationships and foster a more balanced and respectful partnership—one that supports the preservation of such a beautiful and rich culture. I feel grateful and honored to have been selected to come to Panama. I sincerely hope that the people of Panama continue to prosper and live joyful lives.
