Biology Week Calendar

RSB events and resources

A to Z of the Biosciences: RSB’s ‘A to Z of the Biosciences’ short films, shining a spotlight on different bioscience careers, will be returning for another series launching weekly videos starting in Biology Week.

BioCraft Competition: Participants can create a biology-inspired art sculpture from recycled, or other, materials to enter into the RSB BioCraft competition. 

#IAmABiologist — Each year for Biology Week, we aim to inspire future biologists by highlighting the diverse roles available in the biosciences through our #IAmABiologist campaign. This year we’re looking for people to take part by either filming an engaging ‘day in the life’ video or sharing an image of themselves on social media using the hashtag #IAmABiologist and tagging us during Biology Week on your social media channel of choice! If you would like to film a video, we would suggest that you film clips of yourself as you work and then record a voiceover to go alongside it.

Memory Game: Download the Memory Game activity to play with your class or STEM club during Biology Week – test your students’ memory and learn more about the biosciences together in this fun activity. There will be a new version available from Biology Week.
