Biology teachers:

What’s on your bookshelf?
Any recommendations for this academic year?

Let’s shout about your favourites.
Indeed, why not snap a photo of that bookshelf and share with the hashtag #BiologyShelfie

Here are a few that we have on the shelves @LeysLibrary

Do you trust the answers you get from #AI-powered chatbots, such as ChatGPT? Do you trust yourself to recognise a right answer from a wrong one?

A Cambridge-developed platform called CheckMate allows users to evaluate the performance of chatbots.
