Cristina Castillo

Early career scientist broadly interested in improving human heath, livelihoods and the environment through globalconservation, research and education.

Work: I'm currently involved in a project exploring the diversity of mesophotic coral reef ecosystems in the southern Caribbean. School:I'm interested in bridging the gaps among science, policy and the public understating of science and am working towards a Master's degree in Environmental Science and Policy. Play:I've traveled to 18 countries for work and "play", although I wholeheartedly believe that travel can be more educational than any classroom experience.
