Cytochrome nanowires under electron microscopy
Microbial nanowires are appendages that Bacteria and Archaea use to transfer electrons to external surfaces, such as minerals, electrodes, or other microbes. While initial studies suggested that nanowires were modified pili, recent advan...

A comparison of staff perceptions of lecture capture before and after the COVID-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic caused a rapid transition from face-to-face to mostly online learning in higher education. As staff became more familiar with teaching technology, their perception of online learning became more positive, and many e...

Are all students getting maximum value from bioscience practicals? Exploring the benefits of inclusive competence-based design
Practical work is expensive, complicated to organise and often exclusionary. However, practicals are commonly considered a core component of research-based bioscience education. This is difficult to justify when the majority of bioscienc...

Marking the markers: evaluating the potential of professional development through collaborative marking circles
This case study details a three-day ‘marking circle’ activity where six academics, who co-author this case study, with varied lengths of experience collaboratively marked 25 undergraduate bioscience essays. Observations from this activit...

Integrating Smart Worksheets into mandatory pre-laboratory exercises increased exercise completion rates and laboratory test grades
Pre-laboratory exercises are assigned to promote student preparedness, but these provide no benefit if students do not engage. Students’ perceived barriers to pre-laboratory-exercise engagement were identified via analysis of open and cl...

Peer mentoring to support learning in the life sciences
We present a pair of case studies of undergraduate peer mentoring schemes in schools of life science to support student transition and reduce demographic awarding gaps. The first, PEMENTOS (PEer MEntoring TO Succeed), was piloted at Roya...
