This is the site of Mary Pulgar
for the course How to Grow Almost Anything 2021.
Hello! My name is Mary Pulgar. I just graduated as a biologist at Yachay Tech - Ecuador. I am passionate about conservation and infectious diseases and that is what I have focused my research on so far. I also love the art of synthetic biology, so this website will document my coursework as an active listener at How to Grow (Almost) Anything - 2021.
