Scientific-popular lecture «Secrets of the genetic code»
February 9 at 17.00 in the State Biological Museum. KA Timiryazev held a popular science lecture "Secrets of the genetic code." About how the information encapsulated in DNA is encoded, transmitted and realized, what mutations are and why they occur, the cat first discovered the secret of the structure of the most important molecule of life, the associate professor of the Moscow Agricultural Academy named after. KA Timiryazev, Candidate of Biological Sciences Lyudmila Semenovna Bolshakova.
The continuation of the lecture program will take place on the 16th of March: you will learn which genes are "conducted" by the development of plants and by the "creation" of beautiful flowers.

Bacteria in biofilms are 1,000 times more resistant to antibiotics, disinfectants, mechanical treatment, and other types of stress. A chemist from RUDN University suggested a method to prevent the formation of biofilms and reduce the resistance of bacteria to antimicrobial medications. This might help increase the efficiency of antibacterial treatment in the food industry, medicine, and agriculture.
A specialist in spacecraft movement control analyzed the process of placing vehicle stages, boosters, and other space debris into the so-called disposal orbit and suggested cleaning lower orbits up with a spacecraft that has modules with engine units on board. These modules will attach to space debris objects and move them away. As for the geostationary orbit, a preferable way to clean it up would be a towing spacecraft that transports space debris objects into the disposal orbit.
A biologist from RUDN University studied the development of the immune response in prepubertal male and female animals. According to her, the severity and mortality of infectious and inflammatory diseases at this age depend not on the sex hormones, but mainly on the chromosome set or karyotype.
