A 4,000-Mile Journey Leads to “Sticky†Award-Winning Research for 91²Ö¿â Graduate Student

Though she had an interest in science at an early age, Raissa Mendonca had no idea she would end up over 4,000 miles away from her hometown of Recife, Brazil, studying and doing award-winning ecological research in the College of Arts and Sciences at 91²Ö¿â in Kent, Ohio. She probably did not expect to be wearing a bug net over her head in Manitoba, Canada, either.
