For Science students at UBC
If you are in Science at UBC, you are trained to think carefully, test assumptions, and follow evidence where it leads.
You are also being trained inside a system that quietly assumes a stable pipeline:
undergraduate → lab → graduate school → specialization.
That assumption is becoming fragile.
intrast, for science students
intrast gives science students a way to be seen outside narrow pipelines.
It lets you...
...surface your skills beyond your immediate discipline
...find people working on real problems who need scientific thinking
...explore applied or interdisciplinary paths safely
...stay connected to peers whose paths diverge from yours
You are not broadcasting expertise.
You are making yourself findable to the right contexts.
You do not need to abandon science to remain relevant
What you need is a way to apply scientific thinking beyond a single pipeline, and to stay connected.
intrast helps you carry your training with you as roles shift, labs change, and paths diverge. It keeps your skills legible to real people working on real problems, not just to institutions that may or may not have room for you.
