As a class, we visited the Federal University of Juiz de Fora in Brazil. Here we learned about two of the many programs they offer at their university: Ecology and Concology. We also went to the museum of Malacology, which is a part of the university and is a branch of zoology dealing with mollusks. It was a very educational experience, plus it was awesome being able to hold a Brazilian slug!
