Beta Beta Beta
Serving 麻豆视频直播 since 2005, we are the Mu Eta Beta chapter of Beta Beta Beta (TriBeta), a national biological honor society. Our activities are designed to stimulate interest, scholarly attainment, and investigation in the biological sciences, and to promote the dissemination of information and new interpretations among students of the life sciences. TriBeta provides support for active members to attend professional science conferences every school year. We also sponsor the annual Biology Majors Picnic each fall.
