So many things to blog about, so little time! I’ve found some good (free) resources for biology teaching. Firstly there is the “Cancer Biology – Open Educational Resource“. It is an online module produced in conjunction with the University of Bath, there is all sorts of good stuff there, online tutorials on apoptosis and [...]  I think this post is important, I’m going to write about The James Lind library and a book that is freely available for download called “Testing Treatments – Better Research for Better Healthcare“.

Here are the links to [...] I intend to add a couple more book reviews to the site over the coming weeks. There are lots of books I could review, I just haven’t got around to it (yet!). I thought I’d start with the “Usborne Illustrated Dictionary of Biology“. I like Usborne books, the illustrations are usually superb and [...] Apologies for the lack of posts, I’ve moved house and office in the past month so keeping up with the website fell to the bottom of my “to do” list.
