Congratulations Lluvia!
Last thursday the students of the Pharmacognosy subject went on a fieldwork to the hill El Vigía, in the city of Ensenada, Baja California.
The fieldwork consisted in a travel in order to know the flora of the region, which belongs to the coastal scrub, and a couple of colorimetric tests for the detection of secondary metabolites in plant samples.
The 6th. State Meeting of Young Researchers in Baja California 2019 is around the corner, so we make an invitation to the university community to attend.
In this meeting, university students from the state can show their works in oral presentations or poster, in one of the following areas of knowledge:
The meeting will be held on September 26 and 27 in El Trompo Interactive Museum, in the city of Tijuana. For more information on the event, you can visit the page https://jovenesinvestigadoresbc.uabc.mx/. The call for participants can be consulted at this link.
