Biology for a Better Tomorrow

University features in new digital series showcasing biosciences as key to a sustainable future
Filming of Biology for a Better Tomorrow
Students and academics from the University of Plymouth have starring roles in new films launched by the Royal Society of Biology and media production company Content With Purpose, today.
Biology for a Better Tomorrow is a pioneering digital series designed to shine a spotlight on the indispensable role of biology in tackling global sustainability challenges.
The thought-provoking series delves into the extraordinary work of biologists leading efforts in climate resilience, environmental protection, and the creation of innovative solutions for a sustainable future.
And the University’s team features in two films shot off the coast of Plymouth and in surrounding countryside, as well as at locations including our Marine Station:

We are delighted to be collaborating with the Royal Society of Biology on this digital series, which highlights the important research being conducted by both our academics and students.

The series emphasizes the critical role biology plays in tackling the world’s most pressing challenges and demonstrates to the public and prospective students why a deep understanding of biology is essential for creating a sustainable and resilient future.

From cutting-edge research to transformative technological advancements, Biology for a Better Tomorrow highlights the essential contributions of the biosciences in shaping a healthier, more equitable world.

We’re thrilled to be partnering with CWP for this new digital series. The series will provide a crucial platform to showcase the work of biologists and the range of careers available, whilst highlighting the vital work they do. It’s an opportunity to celebrate the successes across the field so far and to provide inspiration for both emerging and established biologists alike.
