From Biology Field Trip to a Green Career When I was at school, my original plan was to study Accountancy. It seemed sensible and a financially secure career path. Then came my A-level Biology field trip. It was one of those rare weeks of blistering sunshine on the coast of Wales, and I loved every minute of it. Being outdoors, surrounded by nature, collecting data with the sea breeze in my hair (I had more hair back then) — I was completely in my element.

Spooky season is officially upon us, and it's time to get ready to put the BOO in BOOtany, the AHH in AHHnerobic, and the FRIGHT in FRIGHTochondria. For the second year running, we're pleased to announce our Chat Biology pumpkin carving contest! Let's get those creative juices flowing this half-term and carve a pumpkin with a biological twist. Enter yourself, a class effort, or share with your students (maybe even as a half-term challenge!) and submit their entries - just like last year, there will be a vote for the winning entry and a small prize for the winner!
