Can Tho 🚐 Sóc Trăng ✈️ Hanoi I have spent the last incredible two weeks in Vietnam learning from a variety of people and organizations interested in biodiversity and impacts of climate change across the country. (1/x)

Loved the snake mimicry in this moth at the Vietnam National Museum of Nature. In the immortal words of Brian Fellows, “Nature, you CRAZY!”

The start to 2024 has been amazing. Two weeks in Vietnam learning about sustainable agriculture and climate resiliency in the Mekong Delta and forging collaborations around biodiversity monitoring was inspirational. A beautiful country, hopefully the first of many visits.

Feels good to be back on the University of Illinois campus for the first time in Spring Semester 2024.
