Hi, it’s Leslie! I’m a Guatemalan student at @TuftsUniversity coursing Biology. I love learning about the world and even more sharing about it! I hope you stay with me to explore the intricacies of science together 🔬

Fledgling American #robin. When baby #birds have enough plumage and strength, they leave the nest to learn to fly and explore the world. This little one has its parents supervising its adventures from afar!

A huge thanks to @Geotenerife and @GeoIntern for the amazing opportunity to expand my geological knowledge as well as meet some great people that I will hopefully bump into at future conferences

Spotted a cat with #heterochromia today in #Tenerife. Believed to be linked to the gene that makes cat’s fur white, this condition develops when melanin is distributed to only one eye. The eye without the pigment is always blue!

Today in Puertito de Adeje learning the archaeological importance of the place. The Guanches utilized it as a surveillance point due to its altitude and clear view to the ocean. This help them to beware of pirates, colonizers, or any other group approaching their territory

Productive fieldwork day today identifying vegetation in #Tenerife. Many plants are dried out saving energy for when the winter brings them some rain. Interesting to know about how #plants adapt to dry weather!

Finished my second week as @GeoIntern hiking #Teide volcano. Amazing opportunity to learn about the efforts for monitoring volcanic activity and the formation of topography of the island.

The Cochinilla, originated from South America, is used to produce red coloring for a variety of products, such as textiles. But in #Tenerife, its uncontrolled growth has turned it a plague, and it is damaging the vegetation of the island. Here pictures of #cacti infected.

In #Tenerife, traditional pollinators are scarce. Wall #lizards transfer pollen in their bodies from flower to flower as the feed themselves. This mutualistic relationship has led to #coevolution, making lizards more herbivorous and shrubs and small flowers a common sight!

Fancy some wine? Risking water contamination, wine was the drink to go for navigators embarking from Europe to the New World (XV) due to its amazing longevity. Visiting a vineyard in Tenerife, I learned more about the history and hazards that these crops face.
