In early January of this year, I boarded a plane bound for Puerto Montt, Chile. It was my first time to South America and my first time crossing the equator. Though Chile is an amazing vacation destination, I was headed there for an even better purpose - research! Myself and five other\u00a0MLML graduate students were fortunate to have the opportunity to take a ten-day intensive field course at the Universidad de Los Lagos in Puerto Montt<\/a>. The course, Global Kelp Ecosystems, is taught every three years in partnership with MLML and the Universidad de Los Lagos. Five instructors co-teach the course, including Drs. Michael Graham<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Scott Hamilton<\/a> of MLML, Dr. Alejandro Bushman<\/a> from the Universidad de Los Lagos, and Drs. Silvain Faugeron<\/a> and Alejandro P\u00e9rez-Matus<\/a> from the Pontifica Universidad Cat\u00f3lica de Chile. In addition to MLML students, four Chilean graduate students and one French graduate student studying in Chile also took the course.<\/p>\n
