Tufts Biology Society

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.
