Biology Day showcases research projects conducted by undergraduate students in the Department of Biology. Taking inspiration from previous years, we are excited to make the Fall Biology Day always virtual and the Spring Biology Day always in-person. This allows us to expand our geographic reach in the Fall while fostering community in the Spring. Current, Prospective, and Former Students are invited, along with the general public, family, faculty, and staff!
