Popular science presentations

Entelognathus

We have put together a couple of short presentations in a popular science format that will give the non-scientist some insight into organismal biology. Our intention is to inspire interest into the biology subject and to provide a brief introduction to our research. 

To the presentations

The Wallenberg foundation has also made videos featuring research from our department.
