Long-term stays at OTS Research Stations
We have all been impacted by the current pandemic in many different ways. The isolation, whether due to a government-ordered lockdown or due to self-quarantine as a personal or family decision, are taking a toll on many of us. Hours in front of the screen having virtual meetings, taking classes, or teaching from home can be difficult. At OTS we welcome anyone who wants to call our field stations their temporary home, and long-term guests may bring their social bubbles along with them!
