Participants in training workshop in Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park in 2014.

We are committed to training students and scientists in the US and abroad. We train graduate and undergraduate students in the lab and museum collections, as well as during fieldwork.

We enjoy hosting students and colleagues here at the Florida Museum of Natural History and with us during field research. In the last few years, our lab has hosted researchers and students from the US, Brazil, Cameroon, Chile, Colombia, Gabon, India, Sweden, and the UK. These training visits can extend anywhere from a few weeks to a year.
