Hey UBC Science students, remember our Back2School survey? We heard your requests for a notes sharing resource!

We are excited to launch our new notes sharing platform: “SUS STUDY SPHERE”! What better way to kick off finals season this term than by sharing notes, flashcards, etc. among your peers. This is a great way to contribute to our science community and help everyone get the resources they need to thrive in their courses. 

Are you the friend that everyone turns to for beautifully written and summarized notes? 
Do you make lots and lots of Anki flashcards? Consider dropping those materials into the OneDrive link below! This platform cannot exist without study superstars like you. 

Are you needing a little extra support for some of your courses? 
Do you want to preview content for courses you plan to take in the future? Use the materials created by your peers by accessing the OneDrive link! 

We hope that this resource will build community and support all science students regardless of their Major for years to come. Happy notes sharing!

More on ‘The Last Shark’:

This documentary’s mission is to change how people perceive sharks, to shed light on their rapidly declining population, and to advocate for a shift in government policies. We are pushing for the replacement of shark culling nets with alternative technologies that can safeguard both sharks and humans. Considering the global Great White shark population hovers between 3,000 - 5,000 it is a pressing issue, and the time for action is now! Read more on their efforts in the RSVP Form!
