What are your hobbies and interests outside of science? (Such as dancing, reading, art, movies, etc.)
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, the easier it is for us to match you with someone who might have common interests!
Do you have anything in particular that you'd like to talk to your Bio Pal about? (being co-advised, rotating outside of the department, diversity, etc.)
We can’t guarantee any specific matches or match characteristics, and we can make matches even if this section is left blank.
Do you have any scientific interests you'd like us to consider when making matches?
