The Higher Biology Podcast

After 28 long summers, Scotland have qualified for The World Cup. In this special episode, Mr Downie is joined by the voice of Scottish football Hugh Keevins to explore why football means so much to so many people and why football memories can last a life time. They are joined by Mark Beaumont to chat with Craig Ferguson who is walking across America from LA to Boston in a kilt to raise money for SAMH, and speak to Keith Salmon of Tuckahoe Turf about what it takes to grow the perfect World Cup grass pitch. Former Scotland legend, Tosh McKinlay shares his experience of playing against both Brazil and Morocco the last time Scotland featured at a World Cup in 1998. This is more than football.You can donate to Craig's Tartan Trek, by clicking HERESpecial thanks to The Scottish Football Museum at Hampden for hosting us. You can ask questions or get in touch  via @BiologyHigher on TwitterThis podcast is sponsored by Leckie textbooks, revision guides and practice papers; everything you need to learn, review and prepare for your SQA Exams.

Mr Downie is joined by Prof Lady Sue Black, a world leading forensic anthropologist whose work spans human anatomy, education and the investigation of war crimes. From her early days working in a butcher's shop, she has risen to become the 37th President of St John's College at Oxford University and a member of the House of Lords. Her groundbreaking research and real-world application of biological science have helped bring justice, advanced forensic identification and inspired countless students and scientists across the planet. In March 2024 Professor Lady Black was appointed to the Most Ancient and Most Noble Order of the Thistle, the highest honour in Scotland.

Climate change is happening. COP26 in Glasgow in November will confront it. This series of podcasts - Our Dear Green Place – recognises that it’s our young people who will face the most intense impacts of climate change. Securing a greener and more resilient future for our planet will be in their hands. By talking to interviewees across the spectrum from politicians to scientists, sport stars to familiar faces from television and other media, these podcasts will explore the themes of COP26 for youngsters across Scotland, inspiring them to seek knowledge, arouse their passions and demand action. The podcasts will be hosted by Paul Downie and Doug Allan. Paul is Faculty Head of Science at Hyndland Secondary School, Glasgow. In August 2021 he became the first Scottish winner of the Royal Society of Biology Teaching Award. Doug is an award-winning wildlife and documentary cameraman who’s filmed for BBC series such as The Blue Planet, Planet Earth and Frozen Planet. In the race of our lives, we must all work together to reach net zero.  You can contact Lucienne McCallum to discuss Timstar products, support, Grants and training by emailing: e: [email protected]: https://shop.wf-education.com/science/
