During National Science Week, the ANU Biology Society is excited to host a series of exclusive lab tours showcasing the incredible breadth of biological research happening across the Australian National University. These small-group tours (1 to 2.5 hours in length) will give students the unique opportunity to step behind the scenes of cutting-edge labs across a range of disciplines—from ecology and evolution, to molecular biology, neuroscience, plant science, and more.
Led by researchers and lab members, each tour is limited to 10 students to ensure an interactive, engaging experience. Participants will learn about current research projects, lab techniques, and potential pathways into Honours, internships, or future careers in science.
To wrap up the week, the Biology Society will host a thank-you coffee event on Friday morning with lab heads and tour leaders. This informal gathering will give students and researchers a chance to network, ask follow-up questions, and celebrate the collaborative spirit of National Science Week.
All events are free and open to the public - registration is required via Rubric!
Please check Rubric for specific lab tours as locations may differ slightly. Emails will be sent 48 hours prior to the event with instructions on how to access the relevant lab
