New
Programs!
***************************************************************************
- The UBATP is a new program that the
we are setting up in order to help fellow students in BIO courses. Anyone in the club is welcome to
participate as either a tutor or student. Courses we have tutors available for
are: BIO200, BIO201, BIO302, and BIO319.
-Undergraduate Biology
Association Research Shadowing Program
- The UBARSP is a
program that allows students to shadow research faculty, much like how one
would shadow a physician. As
you are aware, UB is a well known for its research achievements. It is therefore important that we,
as students, take advantage of this strength. We do have Undergraduate Research
opportunities, however this program will provide a stepping stone for
students interested in research.
This is the premise:
1.
We provide a list of professors who study different facets
of Biological Sciences(i.e. molecular, cell, biochemical, etc.)
2.
You tell us who you would like to shadow.
3.
We set up a time and place to go visit a lab for a few hours
for a few days.
a.
You won’t do any experiments but you will watch the
professor or his/her post-docs, Ph.D students, etc. do their
experiments. You’ll see
the difference between doing benchwork in regular class labs vs. doing
benchwork in a real lab.
Hopefully you’ll be able to go a few days in a row in order to
see how experiments can take hours up to a few days in order to complete.
4.
That’s it! It’s not a semester long obligation
and if you like it, you might consider working there for credit or
money.
Teaching Experience with the Lorraine Academy Elementary School in
Buffalo.
The UBA is participating in a joint
program with Lorraine Elementary by helping teachers in science
classrooms. The school is
trying to advertise medical careers and is looking for college students to
help out and be positive role models for the young students. Lorraine is grades 3-8 and you can
help out really in any kind of setting you’d like (any grade level,
gym class, science, etc) and for as many hours you can afford. It is a great experience and if you
are interested please e-mail the coordinator, Joan Bernobich, jbernobich@buffaloschools.org
