Congratulations to Yuly Paola Rave Bonilla: Advancing Geochronology with AGeS-Grad Support

The , with its robust support system offering awards of up to $10,000, stands as a beacon of opportunity for collaborative scientific endeavors. Facilitating partnerships between graduate students, laboratories, and mentors from home institutions, AGeS-Grad is set to distribute approximately 110 awards across five proposal cycles. Among the recipients, Yuly Paola Rave Bonilla has been granted $9,690, earmarked for advancing the geochronology segment of her research.

This micro-funding initiative holds immense promise for graduate students, particularly those venturing into projects intertwined with geochronology. Beyond the financial aid, AGeS-Grad provides a unique platform for students to develop robust scientific rationales and gain hands-on experience in laboratory settings, all under the expert guidance of seasoned geochronologists. A pivotal aspect of the program involves recipients immersing themselves in AGeS labs for extended periods, engaging in sample preparation, analysis, and absorbing foundational knowledge in modern analytical techniques.

For Yuly Paola Rave Bonilla, this award signifies more than just monetary assistance; it represents an invaluable opportunity to expand her professional network and cultivate new geochronology skills. Her upcoming geochronology analysis at , focusing on the characteization of a newly northernmost described volcanic field in Colombia, promises to be a pivotal step in her research journey. By leveraging this support, her proposed project is poised to forge new connections and propel her research endeavors to greater heights.
