Summer Graduate Student Opportunity: Tropical Biology: An Ecological Approach June 7 - July 20, 2015
Course Description: This Organization for Tropical Studies (OTS) “fundamentals course” is an intensive, field-based experience in tropical biology for graduate students. Since the 1960s, this classic OTS course has trained ecologists and evolutionary biologists using an active learning approach, engaging students in a fun and fast-paced research environment. With guidance from expert scientists, students will gain experience in critical thinking, research design, data analysis, analytical tools, science communication, ecological modeling, and collaborative research—all in the beautiful tropical setting of Costa Rica. The priority deadline for applications was March 1st, however we will continue to accept application through the end of the week or until the course is full. A select number of scholarships will be made available to students with financial need.
