Night for biologists!
On January 10th, 2020, a group of our Erasmus+ students took part in laboratories, experiments and lectures organized as part of the nationwide Night of Biologists by the Faculty of Biology and Environmental Sciences - Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University in Warsaw.
Our students participated in selected classes, including organic chemistry laboratory, where they performed the synthesis of aspirin and many other experiments in organic chemistry at subsequent laboratory workshops.
In the next laboratories "phosphorus is the key", students had the opportunity to perform physico-chemical analyzes of sewage and carry out the process of precipitation of phosphorus from sewage, also learning about its role in nature and the source of its origin in waste. This aspect was particularly interesting for students starting their adventure in the new project
Young students as critical science detectives
of the Erasmus+ program, in which the main goal is to learn about aspects related to sustainable development - energy production, waste segregation, waste treatment and purification sewage.
After intensive work in the laboratory, students were taken on a journey to the Kingdom of Tonga, where they became acquainted with the world of whales and their smaller inhabitants of the oceans. Wojciech Męczyński, an underwater photographer, took them on this journey, introducing them to geographical antipodes, distant Polynesia, but also "size antipodes" telling about organisms 1600 times smaller than humpback whales.
On Biologists' Night 2021,
our students decided that they would go next year!
