The UW Department of Biology firmly believes that everyone deserves access to science. We know that sharing science strengthens our community and enriches our community’s understanding of the world around us. And beyond that, connecting with the members of our community is simply fun and inspiring! As a result, the students, staff, and faculty of our department are dedicated to bringing science to our larger community by organizing and participating in an array of outreach activities.

Look below to find recent examples or connect with our department to bring an activity to you and your group!

A logo with “SciPos” in stylized white text over a dark blue background. The "O" in "SciPos" is a paw print. The words are surrounded by a circle of DNA connecting nine science illustrations. The illustrations are of a hummingbird, a macrophage, a seedling, a microscope, a fossil tooth, a penguin, a mosquito, a bee, and a neuron.

Science Positive (SciPos) is run by our graduate students and provides updates on the latest happenings in the department. Meet our graduates and check out their work. Learn what the community is up to and celebrate their accomplishments with us! You can find us on our blog or through the Science Positive Podcast on Spotify.
