A high school teacher joins us on scholarship

[three_fourth]I am Hermano Nunes, from Brazil, and I am 27 years old. I’m a Biologist (UFPB), with a Masters in Zoology (PUCRS). I heard about the course through the facebook announcements and email newsletter, which left me happy and greatly interested to participate.[/three_fourth]

I applied because I wanted improve my experience in tropical rainforests, especially techniques related to different topics, like birds, climbing, telemetry, orientation, etc. I was expecting an intense and significant experience, and that was exactly what I found in the course: very diversified, fun, didactic and unforgettable in every sense.

Furthermore, the course was enriched with special people: the great instructors, students and staff. So I can just finish saying: “gracias”!


Hermano teaches in a highschool in Brazil, and has attended workshops on primatology in the past. He won the Tab Rasmussen Scholarship in 2014 to attend a field course on tropical biology in December.

He has an infectious personality, and we can see why he would be a hit with students anywhere. If we move to Brazil in the future, Hermano is sure to join our team!
