...know about until we immerse ourselves in the situation,” said Anna Marie Chen ’09, referring to scientific field trips for college courses. Chen, the president of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology Undergraduate Group (OEBug) and one of the panelists, discovered her passion for OEB on a freshman year field trip in Puerto Rico where she studied lizards.
