About the theme and exhibit: Genetics of emotions
The genetic study of emotions is an emerging
area of science that seeks to understand and explain how our emotions are affected by the genes that influence how we think and feel. It is known that gene expression is a combination of regulations of various chemical compounds within our body, which result in expressions that revolve around the emotions we experience.
Inspired by the movie ‘Inside Out,’ various key elements of the film can be observed throughout the exhibit at Wing C, IBS Building. The exhibit’s centerpiece features the main console seen in the film as a vital centerpoint that dictates Riley’s, the main character, behavior, showing her memories related to those emotions, and how her emotions play a role in how she sees the world.
Aside from exploring the physical exhibit, Genetics Week will also feature the following activities:
GENEWS Launch. The Official Newsletter of the UPLB Genetics Society, GENEWS, will proudly present a new Issue in line with this Genetics Week theme. Articles written by the resident members will be featured, and copies will be given to faculty and students for them to catch up with the latest trends in genetics.
Special Orientation. The UPLB Genetics Society continues to seek out fellow students who are interested in being a part of the organization in furthering its goals and activities. A Special Orientation will be organized by the Membership Committee to orient prospective students about the organization. Joining GeneSoc only requires a student to take, are taking, or will be taking BIO 30 or Genetics in their academic curriculum. Students may contact the current Vice President / Membership Committee Head, Christian Allan D. Natanauan, or through the official Facebook page of the organization to set a time and date for an orientation by reaching out through the following contact details:

The organization has once again shared its passion for becoming an avenue for students to discuss trends and ideas in the science of Genetics through a more immersive, interactive setting. We hope this Genetics Week will inspire students and faculty alike to further their knowledge in Genetics and its related sciences.
