2019/12/19 - 2019/12/19 | In this outreach activity entitled "Fungi and DNA - how molecular biology can help us recognize our friends?" (Fungos e DNA
- como a biologia molecular nos ajuda a reconhecer estes nossos "amigos"?), 3 high school students (11º and 12º) had the opportunity
to follow the everyday activities of a researcher. They spent an afternoon (2h) in the laboratory where they had the chance
to follow and participate in some of the activities and protocols that I normally develop as part of my routine work.
