Biology is an umbrella term for the natural sciences that study life, with the other life sciences serving as subfields. Also, in the area of Life sciences, we aim to promote the understanding of biodiversity of life and improve bioscience literacy to increase global ecological consciousness and promote bioscience education. Goals and Features of Bioscience on ICWB.com To achieve the beforementioned aims, this section features articles written by scientists, scientific educators and science students on a variety of bioscience-related subjects. The record shows time and again that one person or a small group can awaken the public to the importance of an issue and bring about a startling change in the direction of a society.Hal Mooney.

Neuroscience: How the ocean can make us happy | Science News | Scoop.it Wallace J. Nichols Photo: Jeff Lipsky Wallace J. Wallace J. During one lecture at Stanford, Nichols implored graduate students to remember that, as conservation- ists, "we have the power of happiness on our side." THE PHILIPPINE coral reef tank inside the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco is 25 feet deep and holds 212,000 gallons of water, making it one of the largest exhibits of living coral anywhere in the world. Nichols, 44, is a biologist and research associate at the academy who made a name for himself in the mid-1990s when he tracked a loggerhead turtle that swam from Baja, Mexico, to Japan, the first time anyone had recorded an animal swimming an entire ocean. “Whether it’s a 92-year-old or a two-year-old, when they come into that blue space, something happens,” Nichols says. Not surprisingly, this theory can strike many of his peers as soft. “ ‘You must be from California.’ “My role is to be the catalyst and cheerleader,” he says. There were some lighter touches.
