Contenuti dell'insegnamento
This is a cycle of seminars on applicative aspects of Biology, continuously updated and changing every year. A set of 8 to 10 skilled researchers give their expertise at the service of our Students, at the invitation of the president and teachers of the Biology Master Course to introduce scholars of different fields of the biological research.
Topics are selected as being transversal to the two curricula of ‘Health’ and ‘Environment’ of the Master Degree LM6: the strong links between humans and environmental conditions, and the relationship between health & environment are especially developed in the talks. Seminars are principally planned to be at distance (via TEAMS platform, if available). Each seminar is 3-4 hours long.
