Thursday

The fourth seminar is on this afternoon. This time we have an evolution topic looking at the origin of kelp species in the southern oceans. All the hand outs are available in the link list on the right.

Research Assessment

The internal assessment about the effects of climate change upon bio-diversity is beginning this week. There is a link to the instructions handout here and also in the link list on the right of the blog.

Busy Weeks

Zoo trip over now and well through the Biotic responses material. Seems like we are taking big jumps from the molecular view of genes in cells to the behaviours exhibited by complex mammals in a captive setting. Still, just getting to see the exotic strangeness of our world's wild animals and especially our nearest relatives never ceases to impress me. I suspect a large number of Biologists choose their path because of the wonderous incredibility of the world we live in.

Topic test coming up very soon.
