Biology writing for the curious reader.

Mission

Biome publishes clear, research-led writing on biology in its broadest sense: from cells and genes to organisms, evolution, and the natural world. Its aim is simple — to make serious biology writing accessible without making it simplistic.

Biology is the science of everything that lives. It deserves writing that takes that seriously: work that rewards curiosity, that explains rather than glosses, and that treats complexity as something to be understood rather than avoided.

Editor

Biome is written and edited by Felix Walker. It was started as a place for careful, engaging biology writing — work that takes science seriously, values clarity, and treats curiosity as something worth rewarding.

The goal has always been the same: to write about biology in a way that makes it feel as extraordinary as it is.

Editorial Standards

Articles are written with an emphasis on scientific accuracy, clear explanation, and strong source grounding. Biome aims to avoid both sensationalism and unnecessary jargon — without flattening the complexity that makes biology worth reading in the first place.

• Research-led — Every article is grounded in current scientific literature and primary sources. Claims are traced back to evidence.
• Accurate — Scientific accuracy is a baseline, not an aspiration. Where uncertainty exists, it is represented honestly.
• Clear — Jargon is used only when necessary and always explained. Writing should be accessible to any curious reader, regardless of background.
• Non-sensationalist — Biology is already remarkable. There is no need to inflate or overstate to make it interesting.
• Depth over breadth — Biome favours explanations that go properly into the underlying biology, rather than surface-level surveys.
