🟠 Máme obrovskou radost, že hostem našeho příštího streamu DNA bude Kateřina Nováková! 👉 Kateřina je srdcem navždy ekotoxikoložka - vědkyně, kterou si během studia naprosto získaly sinice. Postupně ale rozšířila svůj záběr i o oblast, která stojí na pomezí vědy, medicíny a organizace: biobanking. A právě biobankám a jejich významu se bude věnovat i ve svém vystoupení. 👉 V rámci své práce v BBMRI.cz - Síť českých biobank pod Masarykův onkologický ústav (MOÚ) ústav se věnuje komunikaci biobankingu všemi směry – od odborníků až po širokou veřejnost. Ukazuje, že biobanka není jen sklad vzorků, ale živý most mezi vědou a lidmi, který pomáhá rozvíjet medicínu i porozumění našim tělům. 👉 Kateřinu žene vpřed nadšení pro smysluplnou vědu a ochranu přírody. Dlouhodobě se snaží zapálit lidi kolem sebe pro přírodovědné obory a ukázat, že věda může být nejen užitečná, ale i zábavná. 👉 A zábava je jí rozhodně vlastní – je pro každou srandu a lumpárnu, což z ní dělá hostku, se kterou rozhodně nebude nuda! 📺 Sledujte Science ON - DNA - vědecký stream s pokusy v úterý 21. 10. od 19 hod na YT Science ON. 👌 Živý stream je zdarma, záznam najdete na platformě HeroHero / Science ON. #ScienceON #biologie #biology #igembrno #ScienceComm #sciencecommunication #věda #science #sciencefacts
