<b class="">Field Ecology: Skills for Science and Beyond<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></b>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.</div>
