ESB members Zowi Oudendijk and Gloria Murari recently had the chance to meet with a class of Maunulan yhteiskoulu (Maunula Secondary School). Thanks to the teachers Anna Parviainen and Arja Tingstad, the group of 13-year-olds has spent last Monday afternoon listening to different PhD students talking about their projects and their experiences as researchers. Gloria showed them her fieldwork videos and explained how it is possible to study birds' behaviours using AI, while Zowi showed them his collection of insects and other arthropoda, and the moth larvae that are growing inside the Viikki greenhouse.
Hopefully, we will see their faces again in the future as researchers!
