Glossary - Learn the Language of Biology
Overview
Surf the web and understand every biological text you read. Words you might not know yet are red, click them and start learning!
This extension highlights all the complicated words from Biology - one click away you find a short definition, videos and images explaining you everything you need to know. Synthetic Biology is on the verge to become the central industry of the 21 century - as mechanical engineers, software architects, designers and business experts team up with molecular biologists in order to create novel organisms such as yeast and bacteria that are capable of turning sugar into fuels, rose oil or milk. The possibilities are endless, but the vision is clear: Create a world without disease, hunger and energy problems. Be part of it and begin by learning the language of biology on the fly!

I think this is a great idea, but I think the definitions that pop up are for those that are already at a higher level. I was thinking of using this with my biology students, but they are low level readers. Perhaps leveling options could be incorporated. And like Shelly said, an option to click on words that are not highlighted...good luck!

Hi Katrina, thank you, what a great compliment that you want to give this to your biology students! May I ask which age they are? I am new to biology myself and that's why I created it and wrote the definitions. We already prepared to have beginner, advanced and expert definitions, though we didn't write them yet. If you send me an Email to interprtr@synbio.info, I'd be happy to show you our current glossary list and we would be happy to hear your feedback how to turn them into beginner definitions. Best regards, Jérôme
