Lets talk aboutfieldworkfirst.Tospeakinrealisticterms,ifyou planonpursuinganacademiccareerinanthropology, such experiencesespecially in the fieldare not only viewed favorably by, say, graduate schools, they are
often required for admission. This is mostly because fieldwork is not for everyone.

Infalloflastyear,Iattendedastudyabroadprogram inMadagascarthroughSUNYStonyBrook.ThispastsummerI had the chance to return to the field site and complete the project on acoustic communication in the greater bamboo lemur (Prolemur simus). A Malagasy colleague and I finished recordingthevocalizations,andnowanothercoauthorandI are busy with the analysis for the final paper. It was quite different being an independent researcher, and it was stranger still to be the leader of the team, responsible for logistical and financial decisions. People quickly become fast friends when living together in the field, andthough the work was physically strenuousthe good company made it reallyenjoyable.Especiallynowthatthetemperature'sbelow freezinginNewYork,I'mitchingtogetbacktotheforest.The leeches,speakingofitching,aretheonethingIdon'tmiss.
TheOmetepeBiologicalFieldStation(seepage48)islocatedonthe remote island of Ometepe in Lake Nicaragua. I enrolled in the month long coursePrimateBehaviorandEcologytaughtbyProfessorDonatiofOxford University. The first goal of the course was to teach basic field techniques used when studying primates in the rainforest. This included topography techniques and data recording methods. Secondly, the program educated students on primate behavior and ecology from every region of the world, beginning with Lemurs and ending with modern living Great Apes. The educationalsectionofthecoursefocusedontheMantledHowlerMonkeys nativetotheisland. Using the field techniques and class lectures I created a twoweek researchproject.Ithentrackedasubjectandrecordedinformationtailored tomyresearchproject,whichfocusedonfeedingposturesandfoodsource variations as a function of gender and age.

Over the past summer, I attended a field school at the Ometepe Biological Field Station (see page 48) in Nicaragua. Ometepe is an island in the middle of Lake Nicaragua and, in addition to about 30,000 people, it is home to large populations of whitethroated capuchin (Cebuscapucinus)andblackmantledhowler(Alouattapalliata)monkeys. Atthefieldstation,ItookaclassentitledAdvancedPrimateBehavior&Ecology.Theadvancedpartofthenamesignifiedagreater emphasis on independent research projects. We were required to attend lectures on field techniques only (none on behavioral ecology), helping budget more time for developing the project and collecting data.
