The Smithsonian has a historic relationship with Panama that dates back more than 100 years. Many of our scientists and fellows are American citizens that have collaborated successfully with Panamanians from all walks of life, jointly producing amazing scientific findings that have significantly contributed to the advancement of multiple fields. STRI in partnership with the United States Embassy hosted this webinar talk where the long-lasting collaboration between the United States and Panama was celebrated, by highlighting projects that promote the development of cutting-edge research and serving as a platform to communicate scholarship opportunities available at STRI and at the US Embassy for Panamanians.
