Biological Sciences corrections page

Change first sentence to read ...

Find out what it’s like to study Biological Sciences at Victoria from two students and a lecturer.

Under Get inspired make the following corrections

Wellington has some of the country’s leading science research organisations. You’ll learn from lecturers who are actively involved in research, both within the School and at organisations like the Malaghan Institute of Medical Research, the Ferrier Research Institute and Callaghan Innovation.

Utilising our new 'leads to a" line, the two destinations should be:

For Biotechnology, and Cell and Molecular Bioscience, :

Under 'Cell and Molecular Bioscience' please replace all intro text with new para:

Be part of one of the most exciting areas in modern science. Discover the mechanics of how life works and how this this relates to the health of humans.

Take a look at cell biology, genetics and chemical genetics, and study living organisms at the molecular level. Get an introduction to physiology and pharmacology, and learn about human organs and organ systems.

If you’re interested in how cells function and the molecules they are made up of, and can see yourself leading the way in science innovation and enterprise, then Cell and Molecular Bioscience is the right choice for you.

Missing images:

• Alistair (on About, Study options and People tabs) - this is a KYM story so image should be in Squiz
• Mandy (on About and Study options) - this is a KYM story so image should be in Squiz
• David Ackerlay - this is a news story on Squiz so image should be able to be pulled from there. https://www.victoria.ac.nz/news/victorious/2014/spring-2014/revolutionary-cancer-treatment

Maddy's title should be "Bachelor of Science with Honours student in Biotechnology"

She needs a link to the 'Full story' on the People tab

Please add the following quote from Dr David Ackerley between the 1st and 2nd paragraphs of te 'Get inspired' element.

"My research involves engineering genes for a more effective and less damaging form of cancer therapy. The basic idea is that our genes will make cancer cells and only cancer cells more sensitive to a new type of chemotherapy."

Missing video (got mistaken for a tool tip.

Video for Alistair has still with overlap on face - how about the frame at 1:15 - is this far enough to the right?

Still: 1:06

Heading: Finding answers

Video file: Know Your Mind—Alistair-KFRMfRdY43w.mp4

1.0.18

Video for David Ackerlly has still with overlap on face - not a great still but 0.58 is the only one I could find without the face in the wrong place. We could get an image taken of David that would fit but it wouldn't then be in the video.

Still 0:20

Heading: Researching cancer

Please change wording in David Ackerleys story. It should read

Drugs from dirt
Together with Victoria’s Dr Jeremy Owen, David is working on an important drug discovery project that's using synthetic biology to produce high yields of new and affordable antibiotics that ‘superbugs’ don’t recognise and aren't resistant to. Most of our antibiotics are made from bacteria in soil, but only 1% of these bacteria can be used: this project aims to make the other 99% accessible.
