Julie Dobrovolná, a professor of pathophysiology and head of the Molecular Metabolism and Chronic Diseases research group at RECETOX, Masaryk University, is featured in the European #EUwomen4future campaign. The campaign was initiated by Mariya Gabriel, the European Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education, and Youth.

Science Festival with South Moravian Region

On September 4 and 5, the annual Science Festival, organized in cooperation with the South Moravian Region, took place at the Brno Riviera. And of course, we couldn’t miss the opportunity to attend such a great event! During both days, our stand was under siege by children, young adults, and parents. Several hundred people came through our stand and tested their abilities and skills in several disciplines, such as constructing the spatial formula of DDT using pasta and beads, placing pipette tips into a box as fast as they could (record time was 1.32 min – can you beat that? ) or sampling sediment using a special clamps.

We are thrilled that we could take part in the event which brings science closer to the public and the younger generation. Special thanks to those who took an active part and represented RECETOX.
