About the Journal

The Expedition was established in 2011 as a forum for students in the UBC course Biology 342, Integrative Biology Laboratory, to showcase their projects.  Each issue offers articles based on the research of one term’s cohort and covers a wide range of topics base on the investigation of questions in such areas as physiology, genetics and cell biology in a variety of organisms for example Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Caenorhabditis elegans and Arabidopsis thaliana. The Expedition has been particularly helpful to new students in the course as a guide for choosing the direction of their own research projects.
