Why Join Us?
Breaking Silos. Building Belonging. The Celebration of Science is a direct response to the need for community building. We are moving beyond the traditional symposium to create a space where every graduate student in the Division of Biology & Medicine feels they belong.
This event is sponsored by the Office of Graduate Studies.
Virtual Art Gallery
They say a picture is worth a thousand words–in research, it might be worth a thousand data points. Take a moment to browse the beauty of science in our virtual art gallery, with all art submitted from our graduate students.
