Heredity is the official journal of the Genetics Society and this is its podcast. Produced intermittently since 2006 by researchers in the School of Biological and Chemical Sciences at Queen Mary University of London, each episode is usually around 20 minutes long and covers the latest research in human, animal and plant genetics. The episodes are accompanied by links which feature scholarly articles related to the subject matter of the podcasts. Suitable for undergraduates and postgraduates, subscription is free, either via iTunes or direct from the site itself via an RSS feed.

This website delivers thousands of free academic and educational multimedia content, including videos, animations and simulations. The site’s strengths are in Mathematics and the Sciences, but also cover History, Economics, English and Religion. The videos on the site are aggregated from other American educational collections (including the Khan Academy) and arranged by broad subject areas which are then subdivided into narrower concepts, and laid out on the page in a logical and easy to follow screen display. It is slightly frustrating that there is little contextual information associated with the videos, in the form of descriptions, contributors, and other useful metadata. It is also not possible to click through to view the video on its original home page. Nonetheless, worth visiting for the range and quality of material available.

Developed by the University of Reading, this online interactive resource enables students to calculate the rate of photosynthesis of the plant Elodea (pond weed). Users drag a slider to move a source of light closer to or further away from the pond weed and then calculate the rate of photosynthesis observing the rate at which the plant produces bubbles.
