Students in Science

At the School of Science, students don’t just study science — they live it. Here you’ll find ways to connect with peers and grow as a scholar, leader, and emerging professional.

Clubs & Organizations

Engage with a vibrant community of science‑focused groups that help you anchor your journey in discovery through collaboration, leadership, and hands‑on learning.
Description

The Biology Journal Club was established in 1994 to enhance the ability of graduate and undergraduate students to critically examine the scientific literature. Papers are selected from scientific journals in a variety of areas in the biological sciences and are discussed in meetings that include both students and faculty.

The primary goal of this club is to give the students greater skills in determining for themselves whether or not a scientific paper has provided strong enough data to justify its conclusions. The club meets in alternate weeks during the Fall and Spring semesters of the academic year.

Eligibility

There are no requirements for inclusion in this club except to attend and participate.

Description
