Mac's Winter 2015-2016 Schedule' 1st HBS A 2nd Biology B 3rd Homeroom 4th HBS A 5th Prep 6th Biology B. Inspire Biology provides an in-depth, collaborative, and project-based learning experiencing focused on the science of biology. The program covers ecology, cell biology, genetics, the history of biological diversity, the diversity of life, and the human body, as well as cross-curricular earth science topics. Dynamic Papers has more than 500,000 past papers in all examination boards in the UK. The past papers and mark schemes are updated every session. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) occurs when microbes – bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites – no longer respond to the drugs designed to kill them. The discovery and development of antibiotics was one of the greatest medical achievements of the 20th century.

Wildlife Damage Management – Birds and Agriculture. Methods development and population biology of blackbirds and starlings in conflict with agriculture, concentrated animal feeding operations, and urban environments. My main focus is managing the conflict between sunflower producers and birds with methods including frightening devices, wildlife repellents, wetland management, and decoy crops. Optimization of methods takes into account blackbird biology and the influence of landscape at multiple biological levels and geographic scales.
