Im a first year studying Bio Sciences (Physiology with Pharmacology) (:
Finishing off my #BS1013 practical write up, and my graph really doesnt look like the example given in the booklet. Is it just me using excel wrong or is anyone elses graph look different?

Same. We were in the same group so it's probably our results!
- Chantale Shum
Same here too, and I'm in a different group! I just said what they should look like and said that my result was probably due to one completely wrong result
- Adam Pryor
Just finished my revision timetable for the january exams. Now reading over the last practical procedure of the semester (: I must admit that last plant #BS1012 practical was quite interesting, the next one looks like it involves it involves less drawing which im happy about (:

The exam on friday is #BS1015, do you mean what's in it?
- Josh Welsh
Practical; everything we've done in the dry and wet practical.
- Dip Makanji
Josh, dr wells read out a list of topics that are going to be in the test on friday. I didnt manage to get it down.
- Gracie Okafo
Oh like calculations and methods?
- Gracie Okafo
Um graphs, Ph stuff, DNA, enzyme kinetics, ion exchange chromotography, molarity and spectrophotometry she said on thurs :)
- Christopher Jones
Ok (: thanks chris! Yeah i remembering her saying something about it, but i didnt manage to note it down.

This video shows the elater/spore dipersal movement, that we saw in yesterdays #BS1012 practical. http://www.youtube.com/watch...

Its only simple but it helped me again visualise the movement whilst answering question 3a, seeing as at 0:18 seconds into the video it shows the elaters curling up like we saw when we added water to the horsetail elater. It also just aids what Dr Gornall explained about in our lectures (:
- Gracie Okafo
Great! I missed the practical yesterday so I'm glad I can see it now.
- Aneeka Ul-Haq
Glad to help (: Thats a shame though because it was suprisingly interesting when we had a look at horsetail spores under the microscopes.
- Gracie Okafo
So impressive :))
- Persefoni Ioannou
Hehe i know! I found it interesting when we breathed on them and they twitched under the microscope (:
- Gracie Okafo
It's so fast!
- Alice Round
Yeahhhh (: Pretty cool though lol.
- Gracie Okafo
they're rapid.
- Nathan Gill
I've decided to stop all revision for today. Started to get a headache :/ Plus i feel 6 hours is enough for me. Then tomorrow i'll test how much i know now with the online #CH1070 tests (:

Just finished the #BS1012 practical writeup. Will be anxious to see what i get for this, seeing as plants are my weakest area. But on the plus side i did manage to get 90% on the last write up which I'm happy about (:

well done. There were a lot of diagrams to draw for this practical. Don't forget scales, labels and a caption. :)
- Neil Nathwani
Thats a good point! i lost two marks in previous writeup for forgetting a few labels! i will check it over again to make sure. Thanks!! (:
- Gracie Okafo
its always nice to have done the write-up early so that you can concentrate on other subjects. well done. :)
- Nathan Gill
Just finished the #BS1015 dry practical, and found it really useful for next weeks wet session. From what dr willmott explained, it looks like it's going to be a long one! Im definitely going to properly prepare before it!

Me too hopefully, I've learnt from the practicals throughout this semester that preperation is a must as it's easy to be in a position where the tasks are not being done properly and under the time constraints. Good luck!
- Ahmed Syed
Also we should prepare before as it could most likely come up on the exam the following day!
- Ria Patel
The chromatography certainly didn't seem as simple as it's name suggested.
- Arnold Gangaidzo
Ha! I know right. I'm planning to read through the procedure thoroughly multiple times! Good luck too (:

Going to stop revising chemistry for a while. And start doing biochemistry , seeing as that pop quiz that was sprung on us in the the #BS1015 dry practical this morning definitely made me realise that i need to do some work for amino acids!
Have you thought about doing any of the revision techniques covered in #BS1020?
- Xanthe Simpson-Gray
Like? Not really because the standard reading the lecture material and book normally works for meee and maybe some online tests lol.
- Gracie Okafo
from iPhone
Spice it up a little! How about writing the names of all the amino acids on post-it notes and writing their properties on the back. If you scatter them around your room and then test yourself by having to move to the answer after you ask yourself a question about the structure, you should be initiating all sorts of pathways in your brain haha.

This video is a tad silly but it briefly covers some of the information about male and female plant terms we heard about today in the #BS1012 lecture. I found it pretty helpful to understand it a bit better. Plus its makes me giggle because he is wearing a cape (:
- Gracie Okafo
Thank God for 'Captain Biology'
- Nathan Gill
Thats what i thought! :D
- Gracie Okafo
very interesting the funny voices is helping me to remember it ^_^
- Phylicia Dassardo-Joseph
Hehe. The best part about it is that the kid looks like fogal from superbad with a cape (:

Haha, if only they did all our topics!
- Alice Round
I know right! Im going to try and find some more that are similar because i find things like this help me remeber better as phylicia said earlier (:
- Gracie Okafo
Had the 2nd plant lecture for #BS1012. Found the movement of the elaters for the dispersal of the spores really fascinating. Looking forward to phyiscally see that action in our coming practicals. (:
Aneeka Ul-Haq, Neelam Dave and Michael Steele liked this
It's good that you understand a bit about this *before* the practical. I didn't really get the hang of elaters until I was writing the report :(
- Michael Steele
Same (: because I struggled with the plant practical write-ups for BS1003. I found some videos on YouTube that reallyyyyyyy helped! (:

As someone who doesnt find plant's that interesting, I surprisingly rather enjoy our first of six #BS1012 plant lectures. Also made me realise I have a lot of revision to do!

A review posted on a Sepscience E-Journal that descirbes about the importance of synthetic oligonucleotides as potential therapeutic medicines for difficult-to-treat diseases such as cystic fibrosis http://e-learn.sepscience.com/launch...
Matthew Taylor liked this
The article titled 'Synthetic Oligonucleotides - The next big challenge for separation science' was written by my father, George Okafo and two other colleagues of his from GlaxoSmithKlyne. It relates about to what we previously looked at in #BS1015 about RNA, but in this case its explained when looking at for potential therapeutic medicines for a large list of challenging diseases. This article also links well to the RNAinterfernce Nobel Prize 2006 we had to cover previously in tutorial D.
- Gracie Okafo
To be honest, i was equally interested and creeped about cutting open a locust and drawing it's insides for #BS1012. R.I.P Babara the pink locust (:

Is anxious to see how the dissection in tomorrows #BS1012 practical will go down. Just doing a bit of further reading to make sure I dont butcher the poor thing.
Going over Dr Cundliffes notes for #BS1015, makes me miss his lectures. I hope we have him again in the future.

It seems so long ago since we last had them but it was only last month. We have a lot of different lectures so, you never really get to adjust to any single one.

#BS1012 Anatomy of Animals http://universe-review.ca/R10-33-...
Jalpan Patel and Rebecca Suter liked this
Unfortunately trying to remember all the characteristics and species names etc is all getting pretty confusing for #BS1012. This website is pretty simple but it gives a good overlook of what we have covered so far in Dr Mallons lectures and has really helped me get a clearer view over everything we've covered so far.
- Gracie Okafo
Found it sooo helpful today, watching the other groups #BS1012 presentations and hearing Dr Trudes comments, I now can improve mine for next monday (:

Nathan have you recieved your previous practical report yet for the worms and hydra? (:

I have to say at first I was gutted about not learning about 'real' animals but learning about annelids, Parazoa and so on is actually very interesting as is defining those grey area organisms.

Just finished my #BS1015 Noble prize presentation. Overall I think it went pretty well, so im happy (:

Which topic did you get?
- Jasper Estranero
It was the Nobel Prize 2006 about the discovery of RNA interference. I found it be a really interesting topic becasue especially its very current too in modern drug development etc (:
- Gracie Okafo
I found that one interesting too when it was presented in our tutorial. Not quite as much as the GFP one though ;)
- Tariq Ismail
Ha. To be honest i think the sound of your Glow in the dark pigs on your presentation, is definately something that would have made my day.
- Gracie Okafo
they were pretty damn awesome.
- Tariq Ismail
For the #BS1003 essay 'Building an Organism' , were we supposed to talk about one sub-topic given or all of them?
hi, I have been trying to get hold of you. I sent you an email concerning the # BS1010 group work, can you reply please, we're trying to see If we can meet today. cheers!
