Rosa Vasquez Named National Geographic Young Explorer

Congratulations to third year student, Rosa Vasquez (Sherman Lab), who was named a 2019 National Geographic Young Explorer!  Rosa successfully competed with thousands of applicants to be chosen as one of the few to be supported by a National Geographic grant for her project "MicroAmazon: The Hidden World of Amazonian Extremophiles" to initiate biodiversity and natural product discovery research in the Peruvian Amazon "Boiling River" area in the summer of 2019.
