This year (September 26, 2025), we participated in the European Science Night in Bratislava with an interactive science stand entitled: How is science done? Visitors could learn not only about the steps of doing science, from the idea through writing grants, conducting the experiment to the publication itself, but also about current research projects and the possibilities of involvement for interns, bachelor’s, master’s, PhD students, and research staff. We hope to see you at the event again next year.
Interested parties also had the opportunity to learn more about the new APVV project obtained in 2025, entitled: Social Interaction Test in a Home Cage: An Innovative Ethological Approach to Measuring Social Behavior in Laboratory Rats and the Role of Sex Steroid Hormones (APVV-24-0274).
Members of the research team – Veronika Borbélyová, MSc., PhD. (principal investigator), Kristína Macáková, MSc., PhD., Andrej Feješ, MSc. and Petronela Sušienková, M.A., – presented the main objectives of the project, its innovative approach and significance for biomedical research, while also distributing promotional materials in the form of a poster to visitors.
