Directory of Participating Schools and Teachers
Because Biophysics graduate students have very diverse interests and expertise, the partner teachers for our program come from a variety of subject areas and grade levels. Graduate students should choose a classroom that best matches their research interests. Teachers marked with an asterisk have participated in outreach with UIUC graduate students before.
