“Student of Life” posts

Sometimes, a student writes an essay, assembles a presentation, or otherwise accomplishes a feat that is just too good for not sharing it with the world.

Introducing the “Student of Life” Posts.

Selected works by real-life students of BIOL100, curated and presented to a wider audience on these pages. Publication is not only a reward for exemplary accomplishment but a trigger for discussion and dissemination of ideas.

Stay tuned for exceptional work forthcoming!
