This glossary is for any student studying bioscience, biomedical or life sciences.
The book is for high (secondary) school students and above, as well as those pursuing advanced degrees such as Master’s (MPhil, MSc, MRes, etc.) and Doctoral (DPhil).
If you study any of the biosciences, then this glossary is for you.
When I was a student, one of my go-to books was a glossary of terms, which is no longer in print. I used the glossary when I was learning new material to look up things I didn’t understand and to remind myself of things I had previously learned. I found it an invaluable learning tool.
As I couldn’t find a suitable glossary for today’s students, I wrote one.
I have over 40 years of experience studying science and working as a scientist. I have a PhD in Biochemistry from the UK and spent five years as a post-doctoral research fellow in the US. For 25 years, I was a lecturer at British Universities, teaching biomedical sciences and biochemistry to undergraduate students. I am now retired.
I compiled this glossary because I thought such a book was needed. It’s as simple as that.
