About BUMMP
BUMMP is the Biology Undergraduate and Master's Mentorship Program at the University of California, San Diego. UCSD is an incubator for brilliance and innovation, especially in the Biology Department. Our senior investigators and students are among the brightest and come from all walks of life. While Biology is a revolutionary field, our face is often a misrepresentation of the global human population. Time and time again we have seen that the most effective problem-solving will be executed by diverse thinkers. Our primary aim is to ensure that our undergraduate and Master's students who are underrepresented are equipped with an awareness of their place in science and the strength to stand in that place and advance to higher heights.
My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together.
