A very interesting day and still a few hours to go 🙂
We have a new team member - Diksha Kumari - welcome to our lab! 👋🙂
Moreover,we started the search for a signal from microcosm, namely from inside of cells in our samples,in cooperation with IBCH.
We hope for interesting results!

The reviewers and the committee requested that the dissertation be distinguished. Dissertation was on plant-virus-satellite RNA and insect vector interactions.

It was a very good day!

uninvited guest in my office - Western conifer seed bug (Leptoglossus occidentalis).

a few years ago I didn't even know what kind of bug it was and I asked my colleagues-entomologists for info.

L. occidentalis was first recorded in Poland in 2007 and is now practically ubiquitous.
