Welcome to Study of Life

Study of Life (or as we like to say, "SoL") is an organization dedicated to biology. That's it. Biology. Whether you don't quite understand a concept from class, or want help on standardized tests like the AP Biology test and competitions like the USA Biology Olympiad exam (USABO), or just want to learn about what opportunities are out there, we are here to help!

Between us (Yilun and Varun), we've participated in a variety of biology-related competitions including Science Olympiad, Science Bowl, and the USA Biology Olympiad. We've had amazing experiences and want to encourage students to participate and spread awareness of these opportunities. Our goal is for Study of Life to be a home base for students to find resources helping them with preparation for whatever opportunities they chance upon.

Check out our blog for study tips, cool opportunities, and bonus problems!

Visit our Solympiad information page to learn about our very own competition hosted here on Study of Life!
