President

Lawrence Menz

Hey I’m Lawrence. I’m the president of BABSOC and am currently doing honours with Jai Tree looking at the regulation of small RNA in EHEC. I’ve been involved with BABSOC for many years now and am excited to be bringing you some new events and workshops. In my spare time, I am communicating science, you can catch some of my writing in Blitz online and I currently co-host a 1-hour science talk show called Scoop on Science.

Vice President

Tanu Sridhar

Hi I’m Tanu, the 2017 vice President for BABSOC. I’m a fourth year Science and Economics student who’s excited about what BABSOC can achieve this year. Parallel to my love of biology are my interests in dance, travel, graphic design and technology. I’m looking forward to working with the BABSOC exec team to create bigger and better things for BABSOC students.

Secretary

Jasmin Collins

Hi, I’m Jasmin and I currently study a combined Science and Law degree. I have a huge passion for food with eating being my favourite part of the day. I’m also a self-proclaimed macaron expert, having worked at a pretentious patisserie for a while now. However, beyond food, I enjoy keeping active and travelling, with plans to go skiing in Utah at the end of the year. I really hope I can make a big contribution to BABSOC this year and look forward to meeting lots of new faces at this years’ events!

Treasurer

Gordon Qian

I am the treasurer of BABSOC, and currently in my 3rd year of my Advanced Science (Hons) degree. I am enjoying my double major in molecular cell biology and bioinformatics, but I think the most enjoyable aspect of my university experience is getting involved with student run societies and activities. I hope to meet many new people and share this experience with others. In my spare time I like to do things that don’t require much thinking, like kicking back with a quality stream of YouTube clips.
