Dear OTS Delegates, Colleagues and Graduate Students,

We are pleased to send this reminder about our 4-week Field Ecology: Skills for Science and Beyond 2017-1, the winter dry season edition of our renowned graduate tropical biology course.   The application date for priority consideration is October 10, 2016.  The course is offered at a substantial discount to OTS member institution students.  Course costs exceed $6,100 per student, but OTS member tuition is just $2,100 per student after applying a $4,000 OTS scholarship.  The course fee covers all station fees, room and board during the four-week program.

Field Ecology: Skills for Science and Beyond 2017-1
Course dates:       December 29, 2016 - January 24, 2017
Application deadline:   October 10, 2016 (followed by rolling admissions until filled)

Field Ecology: Skills for Science and Beyond is an intensive, four-week course that will challenge you in every way.   At its heart lie the highly regarded OTS "field-inspired research problems", which engage students in the fast-paced formulation of research questions based on field observations, experimental design, data collection, analysis, and both oral and written presentations.  Students will take away advanced skills in research design, data analysis, writing, science communication and collaborative research - all in the breath-taking tropical setting that is Costa Rica.  The 2017 course will place emphasis on research and analysis tools as well as science communication.  We guarantee you will return to your home institution a better scientist.

Course participants are eligible for pilot and thesis research awards provided by the OTS research fellowship program, which supports research at OTS field stations.  Students must complete the course successfully to be eligible, but may apply in advance (by October 3) following instructions on the OTS website<http://www.tropicalstudies.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=170&Itemid=344>.

OTS Course Coordinator, Carissa Ganong (PhD University of Georgia; assistant professor of ecology, Missouri Western State University) will be joined by Co-coordinator Andrew Mehring (PhD University of Georgia; postdoctoral scholar, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California, San Diego) and by over a dozen invited professors from Latin America and the USA.

More information and online application instructions are available at http://bitly.com/FieldEcology

Please help us make this opportunity readily available to graduate students by distributing this message to all appropriate departments on your campus.

With appreciation,

Barbara
