Affiliate
Join the RSB as an affiliate, our membership grade for those with an interest in the life sciences or for those who would like to get involved in what we do.
Biology is central to overcoming global challenges such as antimicrobial resistance, climate change, biodiversity loss, food security, and ageing. Advances in molecular and genetic technologies also mean that the power of bioscience has never been greater.
We believe it's vital that everyone has the opportunity to contribute to discussions on contemporary science issues.
No formal qualification in biology is required to join as an affiliate of the RSB — all you need is a passion for the science of life.
Join today and receive:
- A subscription to The Biologist, the RSB's award winning members magazine, and access to the magazine's searchable digital archive going back to 2012.
- Access to the RSB's suite of newsletters tailored to different interests.
- Access to RSB events and activities.
Plus:
