UROP Alumni Group Website
So, the reason for the lack of updates lately has been the development and launch of the UROP Alumni Group website last month. UROP, the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program, aims to give students of biology, maths, engineering and physics a chance to work in biomedical research. There are many such programs across the world, the earliest at MIT. This particular program is run by Bio21 Australia, for Victorian university students. I’m hoping this website will give past, present and prospective participants a chance to share their experiences, and learn about different opportunities across institutions
I would never have had the opportunity to undertake a PhD in hearing research if it weren’t for UROP, so I owe them greatly.
