"Little Monsters" - Life under the microscope

Sun 27 May 2018, 1pm - 5pm at Droushia Heights, Pafos

The International Society for Evolutionary Protistology is organising a day-event entitled "Little Monsters"at Droushia Heights in Droushia (conference venue), on Sunday the 27th May from 1pm to 5.00pm.

Several microscopes will be install (some with cameras and screens; provided by the University of Cyprus and the American International School in Cyprus) and will provide fixed and live samples of non-infectious microbial eukaryotes along with soil and water samples from local areas of Cyprus. Experts in the field will show how to use the microscopes and will explain the exhibits.

On the walls, you will find posters describing the evolution and diversity of these organisms, in a language that is easily described to non-scientists.
Lastly, kids can participate in a variety of games, in order to understand how complicated, interesting and beautiful microorganisms are.
