🏆 Big congrats to Jakub Hrouda, student at our Dept. of Ecology, for winning Best Poster at #EOU2025 (European Ornithological Union)! His work uses eBird data to reveal how birds adapt to urban environments across seasons—vital insights for conserving migratory species in a changing world. 🐦🌍

🌿 Whether you're a birder or just love nature, South Bohemia’s Třeboňsko is a gem you shouldn't miss. A new article by David Hořák in Ptačí svět highlights why this landscape needs better protection—now. 🐦 📄 PDF link in comments! #Birding #Conservation #Trebon

❄️ Just some Antarctic diatoms from our department! 🧫 Some are cultured, others imaged straight from natural samples on our faculty SEM - but all are tiny masterpieces of silica & evolution! 💎🔬 Photo by @scientik.bsky.social & K.Kopalová. #Diatoms #Antarctica #Microscopy #ScienceIsBeautiful

🚀 The CryoAlgae experiment by our colleague Linda Nedbalová may head to the ISS! It explores cold-loving algae in microgravity and their potential for water purification in space. ❄️🌱 More info: natur.cuni.cz/en/news/7297... #CryoAlgae #ISS #SpaceResearch #Microalgae

🦠🔬Our DiCE team revealed diatoms as the least explored by molecular techniques among the major groups of life on Earth! Interestingly, it was not the most shocking of their discoveries - find out more in the publication: shorturl.at/akihv 🤓

❄️ Science meets adventure! Our diatomist Kateřina Kopalová and science photographer @scientik.bsky.social are on an Antarctic mission at the Esperanza Base. They're exploring pristine diatom communities and capturing the raw beauty of Antarctica 📸. Check it out! #Antarctica #Science #Diatoms
