== Note to Prospective Graduate Students ==
The purpose of this wiki is to aid your search for philosophy of biology graduate programs that suit your tastes. It does so in two waysby:
* By listing Listing as many philosophy of biology graduate programs as possible.* By making Making research into those programs more efficient and convenient by identifying the relevant philosophy of biology faculty and providing easy access to their bios, research interests, CVs, partial publication lists, etc.
However, while this site may be where your research into programs starts, it decidedly should not be where it ends. You need to dig around and do your due diligence—e.g., contact people within the programs<ref>This site is not in the business of giving prospective students advice—on how to select programs or anything else—but it can be very helpful and illuminating to contact graduate students currently enrolled in departments you are considering and asking if they would be willing to share their impressions of and experience in the programs. The worst that can happen is that they say 'no'. Of course, what they share must be taken with a grain of salt since everyone's experiences differ, and disgruntled students will paint a radically different picture than contented ones. For that reason, seeking out multiple sources can be worthwhile.</ref>—in order to put yourself in the best possible position to make an informed decision about where to apply. Good luck!
