UTRGV researcher Dr. Karl Berg, assistant professor of biology in the College of Sciences, is studying green-rumped parrotlets in Venezuela to research vocal babbling. Berg wants to know if growing up with one or two siblings changes how this development phase manifests, as opposed to growing up with 11 brothers or sisters. His research is supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation to study sibling influences on vocal babbling and development. (UTRGV Photo by Veronica Gaona)

UTRGV students tackled a physically and mentally challenging study abroad curriculum in Peru this summer that included art, architecture, history and biology – and an extreme, rigorous trek in the Andes. From June 5-28, UTRGV graduate and undergraduate students in three courses of study were in Peru at the same time and followed roughly the same itinerary. Dr. Mark Andersen, dean of the UTRGV Honors College, led a biology class that highlighted Peru’s alpine and cloud forest flora and fauna. Dr. Katherine McAllen, assistant professor in the School of Art, College of Fine Arts, led a class that covered the colonial art and architecture of Peru. And a course led by Dr. Robert Bradley, associate professor in the School of Art, College of Fine Arts, emphasized the region’s history of Inca art and architecture. Here, UTRGV students receive instruction in traditional weaving techniques in the village of Huilloc. (Courtesy Photo)
