Hey Mastodon! A brief #introduction of myself. I am a Ph.D. candidate at Tulane University. My work focuses on how #endophytes respond to and are influenced by plant leaf traits in #tropicalforest and in #mimulus #monkeyflowers. Specially how endopytes can alter leaf traits and help plants respond to #herbivore and #pathogens. I've also worked with #ants in coffee #agroecosystems. I'm more and more excited about the possibilities of #data in creating just and equitable spaces. #BoricuainSTEM
