BioBUDS (Building Up Developing Scientists) is a mutualistic educational experience between undergraduate and graduate students at Stanford University, where graduate instructors facilitate learning, professional development, and community building with undergraduate students from historically excluded backgrounds. BioBUDS achieves these goals through weekly journal clubs (selected by the journal club guest facilitator of the week) and professional panels and workshops (curated by the graduate instructors of the course). We continue and expand this graduate-initiated program, which seeks to strengthen community-building and collaboration across academic levels between diverse scientists and disciplines.
