Symbiosis: An Exhibit of Biological Art Call for Submissions
     We are very excited to announce our 4th annual science and art event titled "Symbiosis: An Exhibit of Biological Art" to be tentatively held Wednesday evening, November 8th on the University of Arizona campus! This event is meant to showcase the aesthetic appeal of the life sciences and celebrate the fusion of science and art. The even will be hosted by Nu Rho Psi - National Neuroscience Honor Society, Alpha in Arizona Chapter and the College of Mind, Brain, and Behavior.
