Nus Life Sciences Society

The NUS Life Sciences Society (LSS) strives to foster strong bonds between students, alumni and the college, and to build a tight-knit Life Sciences community through our many vibrant activities and events. The Society seeks to help and guide students during their time spent in NUS, serving as their voice and also helping them to develop a better grasp of their undergraduate path and their future MEMBERSHIP The NUS Life Sciences Society (LSS) is all-inclusive and opens its doors to students, alumni or staff from all academic backgrounds and disciplines. All undergraduates pursuing Life Sciences as their first major in NUS are automatically members of the HISTORY The Life Sciences Society draws its roots from the 1960s, when a group of students interested in botany and zoology started their own newsletter,"The Mudskipper". Then undergrad Prof. Chou Loke Ming was the front-runner to this effort. Attempts to form a society were made and in 1973, the Biological Sciences Society was registered as an official body. This achievement eventually paved way for other science disciplines to set up their own student societies. The Society was officially renamed "Life Sciences Society" in 2013 with the conception of the new Life Sciences programme in NUS to include all Life Sciences disciplines.
