It is aimed at students who are going to do fieldwork involving sampling benthic diversity for the first time so they can gain some familiarity with the commoner organisms before fieldwork starts. It isn't meant as a replacement to field work and is not a detailed identification guide. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=474076 A series of powerpoint presentations providing an overview of some of the conventional and rationalised forms of cancer therapy. It covers a short overview on diagnosis, surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, adjuvant therapy, angiotherapy, gene therapy and immunotherapy.

Aimed at students without previous field experience of marine biology sampling techniques. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=441004 An articulate presentation that includes several engage produced units that provide scripted photographic illustrations of microbiological techniques used in the culturing of bacteria. The elements included are: Dispensing a broth aseptically; Plating out a broth for single colonies; Assessing the degree of contamination in the laboratory; Separation of mixtures of bacteria; Inoculation of a broth culture. Each of these elements is contained as an individual unit in the zip file. Please note, these can be played on a web server, but can only be amended using the Articulate engage programme. Full instructions on their use are included in the zip file. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=474117 This is a flash video.It was created by Dr. Momna Hejmadi and the source file can be adapted for educational and non-commercial purposes only as licensed under the Creative Commons licence. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=451860 These powerpoint slides provide an introduction to the structure and function of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) in relation to organisms, genes, gene expression and protein synthesis. It is organised for a 50 min lecture. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=474120 The resource is a Powerpoint presentation that gives a detailed overview of how proteins are synthesised by the processes of DNA transcription and translation. It also includes some concept (thought) questions that could be used in lectures to provoke a discussion with the class. It also has a quiz that could be used to evaluate whether learning outcomes were acheived at the end of the lecture.The slides were created by Dr. Momna Hejmadi as part of a first year undergraduate course in the biosciences.
