Welcome!

This is the official blog for SUB which will serve as the center of communication for SUB members and as a place of centralized information for the entire undergraduate biology community. The blog will highlight all of the great opportunities available to bio students, including seminars, internship opportunities, relevant UCSB Career Services events, undergraduate research, and job opportunities. We will try to promote a well-informed undergraduate population by discussing new and exciting research, potential career paths, and ways in which to maximize your experience as a biologist at UCSB. Additionally, we hope that you, the SUB members, will use this blog to express your needs and desires regarding the services that SUB will provide. Thank you for your interest in SUB - we're here to serve you!

EVENT: Budget cuts and bio majors: planning ahead

Come hear from 4 faculty members: Kathy Foltz, Stephen Poole (MCDB) and Thomas Even and Susan Mazer (EEMB) to have your questions answered, and learn how YOU can plan ahead to declare the right biology major for you. Here are some potential topics to be covered:

General overview about selecting a major and "planning ahead"
Things to think about in terms of selecting a major (job prep, professional school)
Why choose a specialized major?
When to start thinking about research
Why think about research?
What the budget cuts (might) mean for bio sci undergraduates
Upper division lab classes
Participation in cross listed graduate seminars (MCDB 194s)
Trends in biology - looking to the future and how to prepare now (systems biology, for example)

The faculty would like to make this an interactive workshop, not a lecture so please come with any questions you might have, or post them on the wall for this event. This is going to be an EXTREMELY helpful event and we are very lucky to have 4 faculty members willing to dedicate their time to helping us on the path to success. I hope to see all of you there!

Also, please add the event on facebook if you didn't get an invitation: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?invites&eid=302563004545

See you there!
SUB officers
