HomeExcursions

We suggest that participants partake in any of a number of biologically-relevant excursions in Singapore on Tuesday. All excursions are self-organized using an on-line forum. We have pre-defined six options below, but you are welcome to use the Excursions forum to suggest additional ones (e.g. participants with families may suggest that a group go to the waterpark on Sentosa Island). Otherwise, please click on your excursion of choice and participate in organizing a party or joining a party using the forum.
