Featured channel
For universities in the Northern hemisphere, the start of September usually marks “back to school” season. If you’re about to teach a new cohort of undergraduates, have a look at the SEB’s channel Teaching and communicating science in a digital age. It includes articles about the integration of digital communication tools into biology teaching, mainly at undergraduate or secondary school level. The articles in this channel are based on presentations given at the Society of Experimental Biology Symposium Teaching and Communication Science in a Digital Age, which took place in December 2014.
