Ever wondered, “What kinds of jobs can I do with a biology degree?” This is the panel for you!
Learn from biologists about the variety of career paths you can pursue with a degree in the biological sciences! Hear what panelists enjoy about their role, how they learned about their job, and hear advice about finding full-time positions. Panelists will include individuals who work in the sciences, primarily outside of academia (working as a professor) or direct patient care in healthcare.
