Choosing your Biology research topic can be challenging. As you learn more about Biology you begin to realize that there are hundreds of interesting topics but you can’t think of any when it is time to start writing. Biology is a field that can introduce loads of topics for arguing or analyzing; you just need to do a thorough investigation of your topic and you will be on your way.
What is the main criterion of deciding on good biology research topics?
1. A topic should be attractive and convenient for you. Convenient means you should think whether you have enough knowledge and skills to disclose it.
2. A topic should be, at least, to some degree valuable and new for the science.
3. You should be able to collect a sufficient amount of information in order to cover the chosen topic.
I thought this list of research paper topics might help you in choosing your own research topics.
· Chimerism in Humans (Discovery channel did a documentary on this medical condition entitled "I am my own twin." You can view parts of it on Youtube)
· Organ Transplants
· Long term effects of smoking
· The benefits of breastfeeding
· the use of mercury based preservatives in vaccines (flu etc.)
· Identify the common bed bug; its anatomy; life cycle and control. Include the recently banned (FDA) chemical that exterminators believe works better than other choices.
· Why are insect hormones that interrupt the insect life cycle used or not used. (Brand name: Nylar).
· What would the impact of allowing highway green spaces to grow without being mowed.
· Psychoactive drugs and their influence on the human central nervous system. Here you can study the main stimulants like: caffeine, nicotine, amphetamines etc.. They all stimulate the release of so-called neurotransmitters: noradrenalin, serotonin, glutamine, dopamine, acetylcholine and gamma aminobutyric acid.
· Hearing is rather a catching topic. You can study the structure of the organs of hearing, the phenomenon of deafness or echolocation.
· Another good biology research paper topic is hormones of the kidneys. Human kidneys release two main hormones: erythropoietin and calcitriol. Study the role of these hormones for human organism, their main functions and the principles of release.
· Study the whole process of feeling pain, the means of treatment and the pain relievers of the future.
A research paper is not the most difficult academic assignment but it will still take a lot of your time so use it wisely! Good Luck.
