The Origins project was organized around virtual field trips to eight scientific observatories where significant, ongoing research is conducted. We went behind the scenes at these institutions and at locations that are generally off limits to the public, including a rain forest research station in Belize, underneath Antarctica's sea ice, and an underground particle accelerator. Using the Web, we enabled our audience to look over the shoulders of scientists at work?in laboratories and in the field.
