Meet freshwater ecologist Professor Rey Papa from the University of Santo Tomas (UST).
A growling tiger through and through, Rey graduated with a Bachelor’s, Master’s and PhD in Biological Sciences from UST. Since June 2002, he has taught at the Department of Biological Sciences and has now been appointed the Dean of the UST College of Science. In fact, Rey made history as the youngest to be appointed to the position so far!
Rey is well-known in his college for his zooplankton research. Hence, for his birthdays, he often received plankton-themed gifts or food. Swipe right for a photo of Rey with a Sheldon Plankton cupcake!
