What is "BioTeach
Reviews and Readings?" This is a freely accessible online
journal that showcases upper undergraduate and graduate student
papers. Topics generally relate to the life sciences in either the
technical or ethical arenas, and are written primarily for senior
undergraduate or junior graduate students looking for material more
digestable than that found in scientific journals. If
you are interesting in submitting a paper, please contact us at ambl@interchange.ubc.ca |
