I do love a screen mod. Makes playing older consoles so much easier. (I am not at all nostalgic for the days where you'd play handheld consoles street lamp to street lamp in the back of a car - getting weird Gameboy/Mortal Kombat flashbacks with that sentence)

I’m exploring how biology and chemistry are taught together, and I need your insight. If you teach, or have recently taught, topics that connect biology and chemistry in secondary, post-16, or HE, please take part in my short, anonymous survey (10–15 minutes): forms.cloud.microsoft/e/rkThMhvZvw

Call for Participants: Research Study on Teaching at the Biology-Chemistry Interface
I am inviting educators to participate in a research study exploring how biology and chemistry are taught together: the ‘biology-chemistry interface’. Insights from this study will inform the forthcoming book:
Bridging Chemistry and Biology: Integrative Approaches in Chemical Education
(Royal Society of Chemistry, forthcoming)

Who can take part?
• Secondary school, post-16/college/sixth form, and higher education educators
• Currently teaching, or have taught in the last 3 years, topics that involve both biology and chemistry
• Aged 18 or over
What does participation involve?
• Completing an anonymous online questionnaire
• Takes approximately 10–15 minutes
• You may skip any questions you do not wish to answer
Your input will help identify challenges, share effective teaching strategies, and shape practical guidance for educators worldwide.
To take part, please visit: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/rkThMhvZvw
You will be asked to read the Participant Information Sheet and provide consent before beginning.

For more information, contact:

I was lucky enough to read early drafts of this book. I've also read the published version (which I bought so this isn't an ad!). It truly encapsulates Olle's ethos of science communication and the world. If you have any interest in science or science communication, this is a great read!
