UWA Science Clubs

 

  • Initially a club founded in the 50s, CHeMnBiO was brought back onto the student scene at UWA in 2013 to represent students studying Chemistry, Biochemistry, Nanotechnology and Genetics. We are composed of a student membership base of over 300 students in these subject areas and aim to establish connections between like-minded people at our fun social events, such as quiz nights. When we’re not socialising, we hit the books at study sessions, one of our many educational events. If you’d like to say “hi” to us in our Bayliss Building clubroom, bring with you a Chemistry pun!
