Farewell, Yesenia!
Yesenia Valverde has completed an internship with IAN and will soon be starting as a field technician for the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) station in Hilo, Hawaii next month. She’ll be collecting plant, bird, beetle, mosquito, and soil data to contribute to the project’s ongoing study of biological responses to climate change, land use change, and invasive species.
