Yeah. New. This is actually a yearly joint-course offered by UBC and--I think--the University of Florida. It's BIOL 409. It's an intensive field-study course that lasts from May 7th to May 27th. Each time it's offered, it's held in a different part of the world; the last two rounds of the course were held in Mexico and Yukon. This year (2009), it's in Kenya, deep in the middle of everything that's out there.
Anyway I'm considering applying. This is exactly the sort of opportunity I fantasized having coming to UBC, right down to the very continent. And lo and behold: It happened. A guy came into my BIOL 303 class and introduced it. A more in-depth seminar will be held on the 22nd that goes over the logistics and everything; I plan to attend. But I'm sure that not everyone that wants to go will be able to, so I'll have to see how it plays out.
