About Us
By the time you graduate, you will have spent a vast number of hours in the classroom and laboratory, and will have brought to fruition a research project of considerable substance. Although you may or may not have taken specific stock in the skills you acquired or cultivated along the way, they are many – and they are highly advantageous in a variety of professional settings.
Our greatest hope in BGS is that you make the training count, really count – that you strive to have the greatest possible impact on society, cognizant of the skills, interests, and values that make this achievable.
