Recent Instagram takeover host Edwin shared highlights from a summer research expedition to the Galápagos Islands, where he worked alongside UW-Green Bay biology professor Dr. Paolo Segre studying blue and Bryde's whales.

The project brought together researchers from multiple institutions to better understand whale behavior and the environmental conditions that influence marine ecosystems. Edwin helped deploy temporary suction-cup tags that track whale movement and collected oceanographic and plankton data used to study the relationship between ocean conditions and whale ecology.

The team's work may provide valuable insights into how warming ocean temperatures and El Niño conditions impact marine life.

For Edwin, the experience was more than a research trip. It was an opportunity to apply what he's learned at UW-Green Bay, work alongside professional scientists and contribute to research with global significance.

For many parents and families, understanding college costs can feel overwhelming, especially when you're just beginning the planning process.

Careli Navarro knew by sixth grade that she wanted to become a nurse. When it came time to choose a college, she wanted a program that would help her reach that goal while staying close to home and making her education affordable.

As a first-generation college student, scholarships helped make UW–Green Bay the right fit. But it was the University's strong nursing program and hands-on clinical experiences that confirmed she had made the right choice.

Today, Careli is gaining real-world experience working with patients, applying what she's learned in the classroom and building the confidence needed to succeed in the profession she has dreamed about for years.

Watch Careli's story and learn how UW-Green Bay is helping her answer a lifelong calling through science and care: https://news.uwgb.edu/featured/09/08/careli-navarro-uw-green-bay-nursing-student-clinicals/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign&utm_content=ap_1hbolusvun
