We are excited to offer a series of AMAs with past and current biology students from the top Canadian universities, giving you a different perspective on what your future might look like. These AMAs will focus more on program / university life/ career, less about admission process.
The AMAs will start with some prepared questions (drop down your questions in the Google Form), followed by some live Q&A.
