  Section - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A section (U.S. land surveying) is a one square mile subdivision of a survey township
A section of musical form, including introduction or intro, exposition, recapitulation, verse, chorus or refrain, conclusion, coda or outro, fadeout, bridge or interlude; or a sectional form such as binary form.
A section in biology is a taxonomic rank intermediate between genus and species.

 Biology 1: Drugs and the Brain   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Biology 1 seeks to prepare non-biologists to appreciate the next 5 to 20 years of progress in biology, biomedical science, and applied biology.
Therefore Biology 1 treats the fundamental aspects of drug actions on the nervous system, from the quantitative molecular, physical and chemical viewpoints that can be appreciated by Caltech students.
Also, there is a "Bootstrap" section, SS 12, which is available to those students with very little exposure to biology.

 [No title]
The Plant Population Biology Section was able to award three student travel awards to the 2004 ESA Meetings in Portland, OR ($300 each).
The mission of the Plant Population Biology Section is to encourage research, to promote collaboration and communication among a community of international plant population ecologists, and to sponsor meetings for the communication of results in all phases of plant population biology.
Because our section is only allowed to endorse one proposal, if there are multiple section members with ideas in mind, we will have an open discussion on the different topic ideas (although sponsorship is not necessary for inclusion in the final program).

 NIAMS IRP - Lymphocyte Cell Biology Section   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The Lymphocyte Cell Biology Section discovered Jak3, which is predominantly expressed in immune and hematopoietic cells They demonstrated that Jak3 associates with the common γ chain (γc), a cytokine receptor that is a shared subunit used by interleukin-2 (IL-2), IL-4, IL-7, IL-9, IL-15 and IL-21.

The purpose of this paper is to reinforce the idea that biology is done by real people, who were not born doing science, but learned to be scientists through years of training and hard work.

 NIAMS IRP - Inflammatory Biology Section   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The general strategy of the Section has been to use genetic methods such as positional cloning to identify the genes underlying Mendelian disorders of inflammation, and then to employ the techniques of molecular and cell biology to delineate the role that these genes play in normal physiology and pathologic conditions.
In 1997, the Section led an international consortium in the identification of the gene causing the recessively inherited disorder familial Mediterranean fever (FMF).
In 1999, the Section discovered mutations in the p55 TNF receptor in patients with dominantly inherited periodic inflammation, and proposed the name TRAPS (TNF receptor associated periodic syndrome) to denote this condition.

 Kimball's Biology Pages
It has always seemed to me that the many parts that make up the subject of biology are related to each other more like the nodes of a web than as a linear collection of independent topics.
So I believe that the power of hypertext will be better suited to learning about biology than is the linear structure of a printed textbook.
Another disadvantage of printed textbooks is the inevitable delay between the time that new advances in biology are reported and the time that they can become incorporated in a printed book (often several years).
