The Royal Society of Biology is asking 1st year students about their experiences of A level Biology – “If you are an undergraduate student in your first year of university please complete our survey (https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/post16_bio19?dm_i=I1,61VC2,M95SFG,NQV28,1) on your experience of biology in school. The information you provide will help to inform the work of the Biology Curriculum Committee in considering the future of biology education in schools and you could win a £50 Amazon voucher. The survey will close 15 February.”
