As we in Puerto Rico celebrate the festive tradition of Three Kings Day, we at Caribbean Scientific would like to share a bit of our culture and sprinkle in some scientific curiosity. 🌟👑 On January 5th, a beloved custom involves children gathering grass for the camels that the Three Kings ride. This gesture is more than just a cultural ritual; it’s a connection to nature and biology. Did you know that camels, the enduring symbols of endurance and adaptation, have a unique ability to thrive in harsh desert environments thanks to their efficient water and food utilization? Grass, a common feed for camels, is a powerhouse of energy. It performs photosynthesis more efficiently than many other plants, making it a vital resource in both natural and agricultural ecosystems. This simple plant, often overlooked, plays a crucial role in sustaining diverse life forms, including the majestic camels of the Three Kings. As we celebrate this wonderful tradition, we're reminded of the fascinating interplay between culture and science. At Caribbean Scientific, we're committed to exploring and appreciating this connection in everything we do. Happy Three Kings Day! May this day be filled with joy, curiosity, and discovery. #ThreeKingsDay #PuertoRicoCulture #ScienceFacts #CaribbeanScientific #CamelsAndGrass

When we hold this parade, we honor the species of the Earth and we shed light on the danger they are in. Learning from the Earth and taking care of vulnerability are two of our cultural design principles. Through this parade, we practice those principles. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/ekZFqbng

Robinson Crusoe's first steps towards Colonialization: To overcome his fear, the first project is to construct the 'Wall' that keeps him safe. Then, Crusoe gradually spends years to set up a series of enclosures, for cattle and goats and for plantations, which slowly cover the landscape, the island. Crusoe's enclosure gives him a sort of relief and meaning to life because in his enclosed spaces he gains identity and individuality. Therefore, one can claim that Crusoe's enclosure movement is a movement towards identity formation. This enclosing process makes everything inside, and it is his first step towards colonizing the island.
