The course Tropical Biology An Ecological Approach is still accepting student applications. Keep in mind that this course is aimed at getting students into the field and developing research skills for a 6 week period. The course is in the field the entire 6 weeks, and visits the OTS research stations and several other environments from the pacific coast all the way up to the Costa Rican Paramo and oak forest at 2300m.
Aside from research and field experience students participate in a video and podcast production workshop taught by the team at Days Edge Productions and Radio Lab, respectively. This workshop is part of the Science Communication Unit the course includes. A more detailed list of benefits a student can expect to get out of an OTS course can be found at Small Pond Science: http://smallpondscience.com/2014/02/04/how-all-ecology-grad-students-can- benefit-from-an-ots-course/ For information on the course visit: http://bitly.com/19cC8fT Best, Andres Santana Organization for Tropical Studies Graduate Program
