VISITING SCIENTISTS:
A long tradition of productive research

Throughout its history, the Archbold Biological Station has always attracted visiting scientists. Archbold’s central location in Florida and diversity of regional habitats make it the ideal headquarters for biodiversity surveys. The Station’s 5000-acre property and excellent facilities foster long-term research programs. Also, professors spend their sabbaticals, and retired scientists continue their productivity, at Archbold.

Most visiting scientists come from colleges and universities (including about 10% from Florida) and from major museums in eastern United States, and occasionally from Europe, Canada, and Australia. A pattern typical of the academic visiting scientist is one of repeated annual visits with a succession of graduate or undergraduate students who eventually go on to initiate their own pattern of repeat visits with their students. The major schools in these cycles are Cornell University, University of South Florida, University of Connecticut, and University of Wisconsin.
