Will you be able to meet the expectations of the BioPals program for the duration of the summer (May-August)? *
The BioPals project aims to increase connectedness among biograds by matching incoming first-year students with more senior graduate students (the “Pals”). The expectations of the BioPals project include meeting (virtually) with your pal for a conversation of substance at least once a month, attending 1-2 large-group gatherings with all BioPals participants during the summer, and filling out anonymous middle- and end-of-semester surveys about your experience in the BioPals project.
What are your hobbies and interests outside of science? What are your scientific interests?
We can’t guarantee any specific matches or match characteristics, and we can make matches even if this section is left blank. That being said, the more specific you are, the easier it is for us to match you with someone who may share common interests!
What lab are you in?
This may be helpful to us if first years would like to be matched with someone from a particular lab they are rotating or planning to rotate in.
Are there any specific topics you feel you could give a first year biograd advice on?
We can’t guarantee any specific matches or match characteristics, and we can make matches even if this section is left blank.
