n this mystery field trip, viewers will visit multiple locations across the USA and meet researchers from several biological field stations. In the spring of 2020, members of the Organization of Biological Field Stations (OBFS) came together to form The Virtual Field (www.thevirtualfield.org), a collaborative online platform for field stations, marine labs, and universities to engage undergraduate students through both pre-recorded and live virtual events. In this presentation, we will highlight the group’s ‘Ecosystem Exploration’ videos and engage participants with challenges to evaluate the locations and habitats they see. Viewers will also have the chance to directly ask questions of the participating researchers.
