Abstract

Before Aristotle moved to Macedonia to become the teacher of a teenage boy named Alexander (who would, a decade later, create one of the largest empires in history), he also worked with Theophrastus on Lesbos. Graph Born and raised in a remote region of Colombia, a South American country dominated by lush tropical rainforests and FARC guerrillas (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia), I never imagined spending my summers in Greece amongst picturesque olive groves and tourists, much less conducting research on one of its islands. To me, Lesbos not only represents an ideal location for biological studies, but a unique setting for students and researchers at the intersection of ancient history, global-scale challenges, and modern scientific research.
