Biology Ph.D. candidate Rachael Bonoan is raising bees on different diets to see how they fare when introduced to health threats. She hopes her research may help honey bees and other bees, which are responsible for pollinating a third of the crops consumed by Americans.
The Tufts Biology graduate program is arranged into five concentrations, each with an advisor and a core of faculty researchers. The program is unique for the extent of interaction and collaboration across research areas, which often leads to exciting new ideas for innovative research.
For his M.S. degree in Human Factors, Marber researched use-related errors in injection devices, like inhalers, pumps, and injection tools. He was able to test the usability of home health care items.
The Human Factors Master’s program offers specialized courses, training, and research opportunities in the human-centered aspects of engineering, including product design, ergonomics, and workplace safety.
