Interviews with scientists - How big data is transforming biology

Interviews with scientists - How big data is transforming biology

in this 6 minute video, Professor David Salt of the University of Aberdeen introduces the topic of ‘big data’ – huge data sets that are at the heart of much of today’s cutting edge biological research. He talks about what big data is, how researchers work with it to test their hypotheses, and what the potential implications may be for scientific research in the future.


Interviews with scientists - saving the world's forests

Interviews with scientists - saving the world's forests

In this 5-minute video Dr Ed Mitchard, of the University of Edinburgh, introduces the use of new technologies in conservation, specifically the role of REDD+ in preventing deforestation across the world. The accompanying notes include a teachers' summary, plus student questions and answers.

Interviews with scientists - Drew Purves on computer modelling, ecology and climate change

In this 5-minute video interview, ecologist and computer scientist Dr Drew Purves introduces computer modelling and its role in biology.


Measuring forests: saving forests

Measuring forests: saving forests

This relevant and engaging activity gives a concrete example of how conservation activity can be guided by science. It also covers some of the practical and mathematical skills common to all biology A-level courses, particularly logarithms. Students work with data from a conservation scientist, Dr Ed Mitchard of the University of Edinburgh, and identify how new technologies can be used to preserve the world's forests.


Mathematical modelling in biology

Mathematical modelling in biology

Modelling is key to today's biological research, with computer modelling is set to become one of the main methods biologists use to explain their theories and make predictions. This collection of resources introduces the importance of biological modelling for A-level students and their teachers.
