Nikola Hanišáková together with her supervisor Monika Vítězová participated in a very interesting workshop Big Bang... Microbes! - Workshop on Cultivation of the Uncultivables, in Cologne. This workshop was aimed at sharing information on the cultivation of seemingly unculturable microorganisms and believe us, we know what we are talking about, our beloved archaea are proof of that. The accompanying programme was also very interesting, with the opportunity to visit the European Astronaut Centre and learn about the research carried out by the European Space Agency (ESA).
Monika Vítězová recently presented a public lecture as part of her professorial procedure. The lecture, titled Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Are Microorganisms a Threat or a Rescue?, explored the role of microorganisms in the context of greenhouse gas emissions and their impact on the environment.
Our working group presented a paper on microbially induced corrosion at the 27th Conference of the Association of Corrosion Engineers (AKI)
