It’s the knowledge of life, what’s not to love? It is as deep as the atoms (biochemistry, bioinorganic and organic chemistry) and as wide as the universe (astrobiology). To know biology you must have a good base of chemistry (organic, inorganic), biochemistry, geology and paleontology. It covers (or divides in) areas which are all interconnected: microbiology …
Large mammals, for example: bears, wolfs, large cats, cetaceans… Any selected species from any of the named groups of animals is a bioindicator. When a large mammal species which requires a wide space, lives in a certain area, that means the ecosystem is relatively stable, strong and healthy enough to be able to sustain it. …
Working in forestry from a biologists point of view is quite interesting. Work days consist of field work and office days, what predominates depends on the season. The interesting part is, of course, working in nature. We conduct various measurements. For example, one type of measurements is called constant sample surfaces. There has to be a team of two, equipped with measure …
A while ago I promissed to write about how to make our own tooth paste using baking soda. I was testing this for a good few months and here’s what I foud out… It’s not a DIY tooth paste tutorial, but it can (and should) replace the usual toothpaste once or a couple of times a …

It all seems that many, so called mysterious, society collapses have been caused at least partially …
How the process is carried out and evolution of nitrogenase. There is 78 % of molecular nitrogen (N2) in the atmosphere which can be bound in compounds only by procaryotes. Eukaryotes cannot fix (that is make useful compounds of) atmospheric nitrogen and convert it into an ion, therefore they need symbiosis with prokaryotes as atmospheric …
