Are you interested in scientific research, teaching, health sciences, environmental issues, or other related fields? Are you interested in:

• Succeeding in introductory biology (BIOL 180, 200, 220) and other bioscience courses?
• Learning, thinking, and writing like a scientist?
• Joining a diverse community of UW biology students and mentors?
• Identifying research, scholarship, and training opportunities?

Students who have not yet taken BIOL 180 are encouraged to apply. Accepted students will participate in BIOL 106 during Spring Quarter (Tuesdays and Thursdays, 3:00-4:20 pm, 3 credits). This course helps learners define and develop skills for success as science students and plan individualized academic and professional pathways.

“We got the sense that the best way was to study to understand it from our own interests as scientists. And that’s what I do now in my other classes–study as a scientist, to learn because of my interests and to put that information into the things I already know. It was a message that that’s important, and you can keep it in mind. It inspires you.” — BIOL 106 Student

Applications will be accepted until spaces are filled, and spaces are limited:
