Welcome to the John Ray Society!
The Natural Sciences Society of St Catharine’s College, est. 1926.
The John Ray Society is the society for Natural Sciences, Computer Science, PBS, Chemical Engineering and Medicine students at St Catharine’s College, Cambridge. Throughout the year, we are hosting talks from visiting speakers doing interesting, interdisciplinary and cutting-edge research. We will also be organizing socials, formal swaps, as well as a field trip at the end of Michaelmas! Finally, we help our students make plans for the future by offering internship and tripos module evenings, where students at different stages in their academic journeys can share their knowledge and experience with each other.
Here is our term card for Michaelmas 2022:
