Today’s subject is #Biochemistry! It’s a great option for university if you like #Biology and #Chemistry at school. Biochemistry looks at the building blocks of life and has relevance to research in forensics, genetics, cancer research and more!
You might never have heard of #Biochemistry, so if you want to learn a bit more about what it involves watch the video on @OxOutreach& #39;s website! http://www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/undergraduate/courses-listing/biochemistry-molecular-and-cellular">https://www.ox.ac.uk/admission...
Here are some reading suggestions from @OxBiochNews. If you’re encountering #Biochemistry for the first time look out for introductory or books aimed at non-specialists like Power, sex and suicide by Nick Lane or The selfish gene by Richard Dawkins. https://www.bioch.ox.ac.uk/recommended-reading-list">https://www.bioch.ox.ac.uk/recommend...
For more reading suggestions for #Biochemistry see the Staircase12 Reading Bank where @UnivOxford tutors and students review books they’ve read https://www.univ.ox.ac.uk/applying-to-univ/reading-bank/?category=medical-sciences&subcategory=biochemistry">https://www.univ.ox.ac.uk/applying-...
There’s a great online resource from @BiochemSoc, ‘Understanding Biochemistry’ which provides links to free online science articles about #Biochemistry for college and sixth form students: https://portlandpress.com/essaysbiochem/pages/understanding_biochemistry">https://portlandpress.com/essaysbio...
And there are even more great free resources here from @BiochemSoc for schools and colleges here: https://www.biochemistry.org/education/schools-and-fe-colleges/">https://www.biochemistry.org/education...
There are even more #Biochemistry resources for schools and students from @schoolscience here http://www.schoolscience.co.uk/ages-16-to-19/resources/biology/biochemistry">https://www.schoolscience.co.uk/ages-16-t...
Do you want to listen to something to explore your subject interest in #science? The Life Scientific from @BBCRadio4 is a great programme to start with https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b015sqc7">https://www.bbc.co.uk/programme...
And you could find #Biochemistry related episodes amongst the science section of the BBC radio programme @InOurTime https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01gyd7j.">https://www.bbc.co.uk/programme... This one on enzymes looks great! https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08rp369">https://www.bbc.co.uk/programme...
Or why not find a podcast to explore #Biochemistry? @NakedScientists have some great ones, including a podcast specifically on #genetics: https://www.thenakedscientists.com/podcasts/naked-genetics">https://www.thenakedscientists.com/podcasts/...
And here are ten #podcasts about the gene editing technology #CRISPR: https://www.synthego.com/blog/10-podcasts-every-crispr-scientist-will-love">https://www.synthego.com/blog/10-p...
There are some more #podcasts for students interested in science from @scifri https://www.sciencefriday.com/science-friday-podcasts/">https://www.sciencefriday.com/science-f...
Watch a talk from an expert from @GreshamCollege to explore #Biochemistry. You might want to look under Medical Science for topics like genetics as well in the Biology and Chemistry categories too: http://gresham.ac.uk/watch ">https://gresham.ac.uk/watch&quo...
Why not read some articles from the #science section of @AeonMag? https://aeon.co/science ">https://aeon.co/science&q...
There are some great online courses you can use to explore topics that interest you for free. If you want an introduction to what #Biochemistry is like, try this one from on @FutureLearn and developed by @uniofeastanglia and @BiochemSoc https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/biochemistry">https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/b...
Here are some resources to explore the maths that underlies Biology and Chemistry: https://nrich.maths.org/6139 ,">https://nrich.maths.org/6139"... https://nrich.maths.org/6463 .">https://nrich.maths.org/6463"... That could support your school or college studies as well as preparing you for a university science course like #Biochemistry.
