Mylena Masache and the #frog #species she discovered *while an undergrad* at Pontificia Universidad Católica del #Ecuador in #Quito

She and her colleagues named the frog after Neisi Dajomes, the first Ecuadorian woman to win Olympic gold, at the Tokyo 2020 Games: Nymphargus dajomesae

The species is a glassfrog and is a sign of a much larger #amphibian hotspot in the Cordillera del Cóndor

Mylena is now in grad school at UC Berkeley

“Suffer not the alien. Suffer not the heretic. Suffer not the mutant.”-Warhammer 40K

Glory to Mankind!
The alien, gods, demons, beings from beyond the stars, they com for souls or your world, would you surrender so easily? Fight or die.

Burn the beast, beastfolk, furries whatever, for they are not but wild animals & should be haunted as such.

Execute the Elves for they are not but spirits or demons, slavers who would not hesitate slay you.
