This information session will provide details on a National Science Foundation International Research Experiences for Students (NSF IRES) project being led by Dr. Robert Patalano. The Ecological Resilience of Afromontane Forest (EcoRAFT) project is looking to recruit students that will travel to Tanzania and Germany in June/July 2026 to conduct environmental fieldwork and laboratory research with colleagues from the University of Dar es Salaam (Tanzania) and the Max Planck Institute of Geoanthropology (Jena, Germany). During the session, Dr. Patalano will give an overview of the project, details of what to expect when travelling, expectations in the field and the lab, the student application process, and more. Please note that this opportunity is open to all Bryant students and all costs are fully covered by the grant.
