The Phi Sigma Biological Sciences Honor Society was founded at Ohio State University in 1915. We are a national organization devoted to the promotion of research and academic excellence in the biological sciences. The Puget Sound chapter, Alpha Phi, was chartered in 1948 by noted Puget Sound biologists including James R. Slater and Gordon D. Alcorn. Phi Sigma members participate in activities such as volunteering, social events, tutoring, and an annual research symposium.
Hi everyone! My name is Ben and I am a senior and a Molecular and Cellular Biology major from Mountain View, CA looking to become a nurse after college. I’m looking to become a nurse within oncology (cancer) and love learning more and more about new cancer treatments and approaches. I also love genetics and anything to do with RNA or DNA! I am currently an organic chemistry CA and have been an IA for biology for over a year. Outside of school I volunteer at the Tacoma Neighborhood Clinic as clinical support and help physicians treat underinsured and insured patients. I also volunteer at Allenmore and Tacoma General Hospital to help nurses care for patients with menial tasks such as bathing and feeding patients. I look forward to being the president this year and hope we can reach out to the rest of campus way more than we have in the past! Alongside my amazing exec, I also look forward to running research events, high school demonstrations, and much much more for the better of the community! I hope as president to be able to help not only the students at UPS but also be able to have a better outreach to the rest of Tacoma!
