Biology A level teachers - looking at getting a kit to do electrophoresis with Y13 - we have tanks etc but which kits have you used and what is the best way to source cheaper micropipettes, some kits have them as optional? Currently looking at EDVOTEK cancer one @chatbiology

Who would think that technology made for vanity would some day be a potential life saver. Just goes to show you never know what progress will be the most valuable.

This is wild! Scientists used liposuction to suck out ordinary white fat cells...then used CRISPR to turn into “beige” fat cells, which voraciously consume calories to make heat.
Then, they implanted them near tumors the way plastic surgeons inject fat from one part of the body to plump up another.
The fat cells scarfed up all the nutrients, starving most of the tumor cells to death.
These cells wiped out breast, colon, pancreatic, and prostate cancers by depleting shared resources.
They even used patient fat from mastectomies to target their own breast cancer.
Why Fat?: Easy to harvest (liposuction), edit, and reimplant safely – biocompatible, no migration risks.

Just a thought...
Chromosome, chromatin and chromatid are adjectives, not nouns...

The danger of modelling biological molecules in the classroom. Several pupils have given this response instead of ‘triglyceride’. Why? #IYKYK

This was our entry to @chatbiology #PumpkinCarvingComp polar ecology. Pod of narwhals, seals (including the carcass being nibble by the arctic fox) and a tern flying over the polar bears. I may have to push the boy away from white creatures that live on ice in 26 @UKPolarNetwork

Science AAQ questions, please share!
We teach the Pearson BTEC level 3 dip/ex cert, but are open to different subjects in AAQ. We will probably run 2 small courses.
I'm interested to hear what other centres are choosing and why.
