#NatureJournalingWeek Day 1: Color "Before my 1st time handling collection specimens, I'd envisioned working w/colorful poison dart frogs & red eyed tree frogs. As it turns out, the way wet specimens are prepared & stored causes color to leach out!" — Amy, Summer Systematics Institute intern

#NatureJournalingWeek Day 7: Heart "The 'heart' of nature reminds me of intuitive parts of myself that are brought out in nature. Where do I feel the most calm? For me, it's the olive groves where my father grew up & I visited often as a child." – Tala, Summer Systematics Institute intern
