about our poster day…

During the annual BioMINDS poster day I had the opportunity to visit three posters with research results from work done by my fellow BioMINDS scholars.  The first one I visited was done by Isabelita Martínez from the UPR Mayaguez campus.  The title of her project was “Isolation of Important Clinic Yeasts on Water Treatment Plants and Puerto Rican Forests”.  Ramonita’s poster was very complete and she greeted us with a smile on her face, even though her three evaluators visited her at the same time.  She seemed very in control of the situation; she answered every single question we gave her.

 

The second poster I visited was titled “Isolation and Characterization of Puerto Rican Soils Bioprospects Resistant to Metals”.  Gladiany’s project, also from the Mayaguez campus, was very interesting because it’s related to astrobiology, which I think is a very exciting and fresh field of study.  I particularly like this poster because it relates to my project.  It was focused on metal resistance while mine was focused on antibiotic resistance.  

 

My third and final poster evaluation was on “Photo degradation of Promazine in PBS/7.4”.  This poster presentation was given by two of my fellow owls from my campus, Humacao.  It was really interesting to see what other students in my campus were doing, especially things totally different from what I’m experience in.

 

I was amazed by how fast this past three semesters had gone by.  We have made so much progress…
