Biology/Chemistry research topic

Is this for an EPQ?

Yes, but i didnt want to say so because everyone said that its all about what i like not them. But in truth i just want a variety of different ideas chucked at me.

Well i wrote mine last year on clinical and socio-economic pros and cons of the NHS and over-generalised care, i studied bio, chem and geography, the scientific element came from doing a case study into dermatological conditions, their causes and medications and how the NHS as an organisation can both hinder and improve scientific developments in this area medicine.

However, some ideas could be genetic engineering, the effects of global warming on..., perhaps you could develop your own reaction pathway for a new product. The topics for an EPQ are so broad so its a good idea to base it upon something you are interested in pursuing after A-levels and draw on areas of the bio/chem spec.

Also the EQP dosen't have to be solely essay based so if you'd rather do a project and presentation that is an option.

Any comment on the biomining topic? As this is the one my gut is pulling me towards. Sorry for being a pain!

I think that is a great idea and it is relevant to both the chemistry and biology spec. I've also never herd of anyone doing it before so it wont be cliché. You could do to find a narrow title, perhaps how biominng could help counteract the effects of... (something to do with human activity and pollution or maybe around reducing the use of energy exhaustive metal extraction processes. Maybe "Biomining: A greener future. idk, I struggled to come up with a title and narrower topic at first but I hope that helps.
And your not being a pain, this is what the site is for aha.

Hi, i am going to be starting an EPQ and I was thinking about doing it on chemistry, but not sure about what topic (which is why i have come to tsr) im interested in periodic chemistry/ elements and organic chemistry.
