Recognizing that science is a cooperative enterprise, the Applied Biosciences working group strives to create a sense of community, cooperation, and caring among students and between students, faculty, and staff. This is facilitated through participation in seminars, colloquia, and special social functions. It is to your advantage to participate fully in all of these activities.
