Welcome – From the Editor
Hello and Welcome to the Biology Portal
The Biology board curates the materials related to life science. We assemble, review, and maintain resources in Anatomy & Physiology, Medicine, General Biology (including subdisciplines such as Botany, Zoology, Evolution, Genetcs, etc.), Biochemistry, Ecology and Environmental Sciences. The materials range from short videos or articles to entire courses. These can be used for learning, teaching, professional development or anything else you can dream up.
You can help with the MERLOT project as well by contributing materials (which we will put in our queue to review). If you are interested in joining the Biology board, please contact the editors, Michael or Marty.
