Learn to Write Like a Scientist
Successful biologists understand how to communicate clearly and effectively through scientific writing. We developed the Writing Advisor program in the Biology department to pair first-year biology majors with junior and senior scientific writing mentors. Get personalized feedback on lab reports and research abstracts to better understand how scientific writing is structured and how scientific concepts are explained.
生物荣誉俱乐部
Every spring, a new group of high-achieving biology students are invited to join the TriBeta 生物荣誉俱乐部. Members gather regularly for meals, 研究讨论, 户外探险, 演讲嘉宾, 和旅行.
