At first, it felt like a step sideways. But over time, I realised that teaching Biology IS an environmental career.

Environmental jobs were few and competition was fierce, so I started looking for other ways to make a difference – and that’s how I ended up teaching Biology.

It was a fabulous three years, and I have many fond memories of that time. However, when I graduated in the early 1990s, opportunities were scarce.

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)

Happy #ChatBiology day! @head-in-the-clouds.bsky.social is looking forward to #BiologyWeek and the final of the #Biolobee 2025 🐝

Have you tried any activities to help students learn vocabulary? And, if you are taking part, how are your Spelling Bee's going?

Biology Week 2025: Words, Spelling, and a Little Fun 
So, only four more sleeps … Biology Week is fast approaching, and the finale for participants of the Royal Society of Biology-funded National Spelling Bee for 2025 is upon us! At a first glance at the competition words the pupils needed to learn, it seemed nothing had changed from last year — until my eyes landed on Endozoochory. That’s ENDOZOOCHORY.
