Workshop at the Faculty of Health Sciences of the Medical University of Warsaw
The workshop organized on October 11 at the Faculty of Health Sciences of the Medical University of Warsaw, as part of the Eco-Systems of Open Science Schooling project, turned out to be extremely interesting. The meeting was conducted by Ph.D. Gabriela Olędzka – head of the Department of Health Sciences with assistants. In the beginning, each participant received a Petri dish with agar and then introduced bacteria from unwashed hands. The same was done with a hand washed with soap and disinfected. Some students also touched the agar with other objects of their choice. We took the dishes with us and watched them at school during the next lesson.
In the second part of the workshop, we could see microscopic slides of the most popular Gram + and Gram – bacteria – and representatives of Protists: Plasmodium – causing malaria, Giargia – causing the so-called “Travelers’ diarrhea” and Toxoplasma. The huge number of tapeworm eggs seen in its uterine proglottids under a stereoscopic microscope made a big impression. The formalin-fixed tapeworms were cautions to avoid eating unwashed berries or raw meat.
