Additional information

As part of this resource students are placed in the roles of graduate interns at the National Academy of Science. The Academy’s internship programme requires students to do a number of closely related jobs including acting as editors for a scientific magazine published by the academy, to act as representatives of the Academy of Science in a radio interview and to produce press releases for use in both scientific and mainstream press.

This activity is written for university level chemistry students with a limited experience of biology. This resource is best suited for early stage university students (years one or two) but given the flexible nature of problem based-learning the resource could also be used with students at later stages of their education who would be expected to provide more sophisticated solutions.
