ABOUT US

Tufts Biology Society encourages students interested in biology to get together and share information - about classes, research, etc. and provides support, guidance, and information to those considering a career in a field related to the biological sciences. Most importantly, we believe that biology should be fun - field trips and social events are an integral part of the Society’s activities. More specifically, our goals are:
  • To provide information and advice on standardized tests required for admission to graduate school and medical school (GRE & MCAT).
  • To invite speakers from medical schools and graduate schools to discuss the admissions process.
  • To invite speakers from biologically-oriented companies to discuss career opportunities.
  • To invite notable speakers to discuss current issues and research in the biological sciences.
  • To encourage graduating seniors and alumni to participate in panels/forums to share their experiences in searching for a job and applying to graduate school.
  • To visit biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, and other local places of interest, such as the Museum of Science.
    to compile information and books about graduate schools and job listings.
  • To provide information about student research in biology at Tufts.
  • To collect students’ opinions of courses offered by the Biology Department, as well as provide additional help in these courses.
  • To maintain a website to post undergraduate research papers, links to job listings and internships, seniors’ and alumni’s advice on various topics, etc.
  • To encourage members to come up with ideas for Society’s activities.
