For Naya O’Reilly (they/them), daily life in Madagascar this summer never looked the same. One morning began with Malagasy language lessons, followed by a bike taxi to a nearby village where they spent hours wading against the tide to measure the density and species of seagrass. The next day, they jumped on a research boat that took them out to sea to scuba dive to the ocean floor to study artificial coral reefs.
