Biogeography
27 August 2013 publication
2013 marked the 100th anniversary of the death of Alfred R. Wallace, well known amongst biologists and perhaps the wider public for being the co-discoverer of natural selection as the mechanism for evolution of new species. What may not be as widely known is Wallace's work on the geographical distribution of animals and plants, and that he is viewed by many as the father of biogeography. This magazine explores his work and its application in the field of microbiology.

Schoolzone: Practical microbiology in schools
27 August 2013The importance of practical work in science is widely accepted, and it is acknowledged that quality practical work motivates students and promotes engagement (SCORE). It enables students to acquire skills from both laboratory and field-based work, it supports the learning of scientific knowledge and promotes an understanding of the key concepts that underpins learning. I listen – I forget, I look – I remember, I do – I understand (Hodson).
