For 30 years our companion organization, BioMEDIA ASSOCIATES has been a leader in the development of films, video and multimedia for biology education. Many of the productions listed below focus on the world of small living organisms and microlife. BioMEDIA programs offer highest quality visual imagery and several offer state of the art animations that make the unseen worlds of macromolecules and cell micro-structure come to life. These programs are used for classroom and home-education across North America.
