On September 26 we participated at largest science festival in Slovakia – The European Researcher´s Night with the 2025 theme – CHAOS. Institute of Biology and Ecology offered rich program this year. In the shopping mall Optima in Košice we presented interesting themes covering various fields of biology in 6 stands:
- In vitro: chaos under control (Department of Cell Biology)
- Microchaos (Department of Microbiology)
- Microworld of strategies (Department of Plant Biology)
- Seeming chaos of underground world (Department of Zoology)
- Chaos and fear – parasites and their hosts (Department of Animal Physiology)
- Discover how nervous system controls our body (Department of Cell Biology)
Visitors of our stands had the possibility to try simple experiments, analyze various organisms, including live samples from cells to plants and animals. Visitors interested in the study of biology could ask biologists about their work and methods applied in biology research.
The program included interesting lecture of assoc. prof. Peter Pristaš from Department of Microbiology with topic “Salt brine over the gold – hidden treasures of Solivar”.
We thank all colleagues and students, who actively participated in the program, brought science closer to the general public and contributed to the visibility of the Institute of Biology and Ecology Faculty of Science, P.J. Šafárik University in Košice.
