Biology Blogs
Faculty and students in our department maintain blogs to inform us about their on-going activities, both in the classroom and beyond it.
Members of the Biology Department are actively involved in extramural projects relating to their research and courses, and may post blogs describing their progress. We have also encouraged our students to use blogs to talk about some of the more distinctive aspects of our program, such as our intensive junior laboratory course, the student research experience, both during the academic year and the summer, and the study-abroad experience. Both current and archived blogs are available.

Super Lab blog (Fall 2007) From the blog:
My good friend, Jess, and I were asked to write a blog on our experience in 'superlab' so that prospective students could get some sort of idea what life is like in the bio department.
So what's superlab???
Superlab is a course at haverford, in which students spend the whole semester working on two projects in the lab (the first half of the semester is designated for one investigation and the second half is designated for the other)."
