“This was an amazing experience. I had the opportunity to attend a 3 weeks Bioinformatics Workshop instructed by many talented professors and scientists from United States. I also attended an one week IUCN res list assessment workshop/training. I had the change to conduct my own research project. I was able to finish my research on time with appropriate and logical results. At the end, I also had the opportunity to present my project and results in a scientific symposium in front of many scientists, undergraduate and graduate students and professor in the field of science. For my research project, I looked at the microbial diversity in Leiognathus equulus ( Common pony-fish). I collected my samples from three different bays of Negros Island, Philippines. I used culture-depended method to culture my bacterial samples and used colony-morphology analysis to count the bacterial colonies. I also ran an one-way ANOVA with my data to further analysis. In addition, I experience living in a different country where environments are very different from my usual life-style. I also had the chance to explore various island of Philippines near Negros Island. ”
