The Yorkshire Region prides itself as leading in many aspects of the biological sciences with about 120 bioscience related businesses employing more than 10,000 people. Pharmaceuticals, biomedics, plant and chemical regulation, environmental protection, forensics, biological detection, taxonomy, food preparation and safety, agriculture, fisheries. Many world class university departments support the science and these businesses. Indeed the breadth of biology is limitless in Yorkshire. 

The Yorkshire Branch of the Society of Biology reflects this, with meetings aiming to stimulate cross fertilisation of the science. A key to branch activities is recognition that the improving understanding of life and its processes mean previously disparate disciplines must increasingly interact and gain from one another. But the branch also aims to reflect that biology is about life, and this can sometimes be fun and at other times sad. Recent events have stimulated thought on the necessity for change in biological education, marvelled at the complexity of growing the perfect rhubarb, roller coastered over hippopotamus, and investigated the complexity of  stem cell research.
