About this course

Biology is the science of life in all its extraordinary diversity, concerned with organisms from the simplest viruses and bacteria to the most complex animal and plant communities on Earth. It operates across a remarkable range of scales, from the molecular mechanisms by which genes are expressed and proteins folded to the population dynamics and ecosystem processes that govern how species interact with their environments and with one another. This breadth makes biology one of the most intellectually stimulating of the natural sciences, and one whose findings have direct implications for medicine, conservation, agriculture, and our understanding of the living world. Combining biology with statistics provides the quantitative rigour needed to design experiments, analyse data, and draw reliable conclusions from the noisy and complex information that biological research generates.
