Video about Lab Activities in Puerto Rico
Our lab fosters an engaging, collaborative, and intellectually stimulating environment that extends beyond day-to-day research. We regularly organize activities that promote scientific communication, teamwork, and public outreach. These initiatives help strengthen our community while encouraging creativity, critical thinking, and broader scientific awareness.
