- If you're interested in learning more about the history and development of CRISPR technology, as well as hearing Prof. Jennifer Doudna speak about it, watch the 'Human Nature' documentary on Netflix. I would also recommend students watch it too! #chatbiology
- Love this!Potato osmosis practical tip: add food colouring to the solutions. Only potatoes in hypotonic solutions change colour. Students can then see the results, even before weighing the potatoes & they can analyse, even if they messed up the measurements. @chatbiology #STEMeducation
- We know plasma membranes are fluid but did you know Reindeer hoof cell membranes have a higher proportion of unsaturated fatty acids and cholesterol than cells in their upper legs? Hooves experience much colder temp so this adaptation allows membrane fluidity at the lower temps.
- As it's Women and Girls in Science Day on Thursday we thought some suggestions for inspiring role models would be a good theme for today. A starting point could be Prof Sarah Gilbert: The woman who designed the Oxford vaccine bbc.co.uk/news/uk-550435… Do you have any suggestions?
- Missing microscopy? 🔬 The Microscope Imaging Station run by the Exploratorium holds a huge volume of microscopy images/videos of various cell types, processes and more - with linked activities for students to complete. Very impressive! annex.exploratorium.edu/imaging_statio…
- Understanding size and scale is a common challenge in Biology (Science in general), especially when we delve into the microscopic. How cool is this tool from the University of Utah?? Just slide away... learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/cells/…
- As biologists we have the majority of the new vocab in this foreign language and we know the barrier it can be to progressing in biology. Really interesting way of looking at how we teach our "key words"
- This is such a great, simple model! Anyone else got any favourite things to "make" that students could do at home?
00:00 - The A to Z of running an A-level Biology Journal Club. - Over 10 seminal articles that are freely accessible - Accompanying questions to dissect each paper - Links to the curriculum saps.org.uk/secondary/teac…
- Beautiful 😍Look at the beautiful mitotic cells in garlic roots that my Y12 students prepared today. So proud! #Edutwitter #STEMeducation #chatbiology #microscopy
- What a fantastic clip!!Time-lapse light microscopy footage of a Vampyrella lateritia trophozoite (round) moving along and feeding on cells forming a strand of Spirogyra algae (tubular). Video: Dr Oliver Skibbe x.com/IfIQuitTheyWin…
