The HBS Way

Students in the Human Biology and Society major at UCLA complete an original research project at the intersection of biology and society. This website highlights the work of over 200 of these students. In 2020 and 2021, students have completed these projects alongside the challenges of COVID19, remote schooling, protests against racial justice, challenges to democracy, and much more.
