BioClub Outings:

The BioClub hopes to plan some fabulous outings this semester.
We can do anything YOU want!
All our outings are planned by students right from the beginning.
So let's hear your ideas!!!

We began an annual tradition at Ben's farm and hope we will be visiting one farm each year.
If you have a suggestion as to which farm we should visit please contact us.

If you have any ideas for trips, or are interested in organizing a trip, please contact Eliza or Dave.

Examples of outings from our wonderful, well documented History include:

Deering Oaks Park Clean up
Boston Aquarium
Pizza parties featuring various movies with minor connections to biology
Visit to the science research vessel Odyssey, which has been at sea for 5 years.
