Former Student of the SBT Ngobe School hired by STRI

Indigenous youth, Arsileo Gonzalez attended the SBT Ngobe school at Salt Creek for two years. He worked nights at the Playa Larga Turtle Research Station on Isla Bastimentos and attended school during the day. Today, he had an interview with the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) on a recommendation from me. He was hired due to his exemplary work at the turtle station. He will be working with Dr. Cori Richards as an assistant for her poison dart frog (Dendrobates pumilio) speciation project. Congratulations to Arsileo!
