The #BrownBerets 10 point program. Modeled after the #BlackPanthers. Relearning my Chicano history gives me hope especially during these times. Feeding my soul and relearning. #chicano #chicanohistory #chicanx #chicana #chicanoinstem #iamjoaquin #yosoyjoaquin #brownberets
Day 2 of the common garden study went so well! It was nice to get some hands on experience for myself and my undergrads. #STEM #phdlife #phdstudent #ecology #commongardenstudy #screwbeanmesquite #undergraduates #NAU #NorthernArizonaUniversity
My undergrads and I setting up a common garden study in Mesquite, Nevada! Day 1 done! One more to go! #ecology #phdstudent #phdlife #undergraduates #outreach #STEM
Taking some undergrads on a research trip tomorrow. Its a 5 hour drive, so I told them to add songs to a playlist for the drive. They didn’t do it yet so I may have issued a threat. #millennial #researchtrip #research #phdlife #phdstudent #undergraduateresearch #stem #nau #northernarizonauniversity
Phase 2 of my early dissertation research! My helpful undergrads assisting me in my greenhouse experiment setup! #stem #undergraduateresearch #phdlife #greenhouse #ecology
I care about students. I care about students in science. However, we must also recognize that not ALL students are represented especially in STEM. DEI is imperative to making advances in STEM especially health. I will continue this work despite the political climate. #dei #latineinstem
DEI is not the issue. The issue is that people don’t think BIPOC individuals are smart enough or qualified to get high ranking jobs (or jobs at all). The issue isn’t DEI, it’s Racism… #dei
Will definitely need an update from this!!!
Spent a wonderful flagstaff morning at Mt. Elden collecting soil from areas of high burn severity, low burn severity, and unburned. Had some help from my awesome undergrads #ecology #soil #wildfireecology #phdstudentlife #PhDlife #NAU #northernarizonauniversity #LCE #labofconservationecology
Ready to do some field work tomorrow and collect some soil! #NAU #wildfireecology #phdstudent #phdstudentlife
You can’t tell me “Cyclone” isn’t about a centrifuge. Never leave me in the microbio lab by myself. No centrifuges were harmed in the making of this video. #STEM #LatinoinSTEM #centrifuge #phdstudent #microbiology #NAU #NorthernArizonaUniversity
I saw the movie “The Martian” for the first time a few weeks ago and tbh when he said “mars will come to fear my botany powers” and “I’m gonna have to science the shit out of this” it really inspired me. I too want to “make NASA proud” someday 😂
The majority of all known pathogens to global food production will thrive and reproduce faster in a warmer climate. A report from SMHI and SLU estimates how 80 known plant pathogens are affected by climate change.

Shameless brag, but I finished my final project for my GIS class. I created a map of most likely areas where the Screwbean Mesquite will be most likely impacted by the Pathogenic Fungus Neoscytalidium dimidiatum. Could it be better? Yea! But I’m proud :) #screwbeanmesquite #neoscytalidiumdimidiatum
Love your photos!!!
It’s sooooo cute!
So sorry, but this is hilarious 😂

Why are Saguaros so good at seeing things?
Because they have CACTIs (cact-eyes)
The GIS class I am in is very aggravating at times! Like why is it that my issues are always resolved with either: restarting the program, checking/unchecking a box, or using a tool that is soooo easy to use but it took me 2 days to find it. Very love/hate 😂.
Thank you!

Here is a nice mushroom
