Great magazine - would be lovely to be able to print it for a whole class but ink might be expensive. Perhaps a school budget friendly version with white instead of lots of coloured ink except of course for the fantastic photographs. I am sure many people will also like the debates of topical issues eg stem cells towards the end of the magazine. I also like the information about telomeres. Thanks !

Colourful poster and informative (also colourful!) magazine from the Wellcome Trust. The magazine is packed with relevant facts and fascinating additional information which will enliven teaching all about cells.
