Extractions: The Biology Careers Page A degree in biology (Bachelors and/or advanced) opens the door to an unusually large number of career options. This page and its links help you to explore the occupations that have a biological "flavor." Each of the occupation names listed under "Many Specific Careers Described" will connect you to one or more pertinent Web sites. And, of course, each of those sites is likely to provide links to many other relevant pages of information. Consider this resource as a supplement to the many others that exist: personal experiences and contacts of faculty members, the activity of the campus Careers Office, the content of courses in the major, and opportunities presented in various internships and summer research positions.

Extractions: Our goal is to provide you with great graphics for fast and easy preparation of your next presentation. Here is a little exercise to show you how easy it is to use biogeek clip art. Its the ( day, mourning, hour ) before you give your presentation for the (boss, big Prof, supreme being) and you don't have that picture of a glycosylated protein you need. Now try this exercise. You use your browser to find the image you want either over the internet, or off your very own CD. Next you copy the image from your browser and paste it into your presentation. Try it now with one of the images from this column! See how easy that was? biogeek clip art contains over 600 images in GIF format. They have been designed with transparent backgrounds so that you can instantly cut and paste them into any document you want. And if you really want to make a good impression try the biogeek slide templates. These are custom made biology inspired backgrounds (80 of em at last count) that can be used for presentations, seminar announcements, and biogeek party invitations! Not convinced?

Extractions: Current issue Back issues /Free issues Supplemental data Journal of Experimental Biology is the leading journal in comparative animal physiology. It publishes papers on the form and function of living organisms at all levels of biological organisation, from the molecular and subcellular to the integrated whole animal. It plays a major role in increasing cross-fertilisation of techniques and knowledge across specialisation boundaries. Our authors and readers reflect a broad interdisciplinary group of scientists who study molecular, cellular and organismal physiology in an evolutionarily and environmentally based context. Journal of Experimental Biology is published twice monthly
