scientists are by no means hermits, who, as was said in one of the famous films spring. yes, scientists are a hermit. no, nothing like a scientist - this is a completely lively interest, in which the desire to improve his life and the lives of other people, but leads him to study the world around him and study, as a natural phenomenon, as a biological synthetic phenomenon. speak our sciences can help us live better. a biologist is a person who studies life, biology , the science of life, but in fact, and this concept is very broad, extremely broad and specialists biologists are many and many in each industry is a biologist. but this is when biology is his professional activity, in fact, every person should be a biologist, because the subject of biology

is everything that is directly related to our life, with which we interact with our own body, the subject of biology, and everything is the environment is the subject of biology. if people were well versed in biology, everyone would have a little bit, at least biologist at least in that part that directly concerns his body. i think that there would be much less of these problems in society and the study of biology at different levels, including the more in-depth ones that the republic provides. nsky, center or easier, which provides general secondary education. it's a very important role for a biologist teacher, and she's colossal because she, uh, teaches biology. how to live right? science is such a branch of human activity, a very specific human

activity, which in any case leads to to the acquisition of new knowledge will it be so small or will it be huge, for which they will give the nobel prize. this is already a question of the scale of science, but each of the students, each of them is a discoverer, indeed a discoverer. e new ways are out there, for example, controlling plant diseases or increasing the yield of plants as well, so here on these petri dishes that they work with. well, they are planting something. yes, some microbes are studied, they are reseeded, and their properties are studied. these are absolutely unique organisms that there is nowhere. e more elsewhere with unique properties, which then, if suddenly something really very effective turns out, they transfer. further into big science, and big science continues to work with them and turns them into an object. well, quite such a tangible material there, well, for example

, in biological preparations for plant protection, when i was 12 years old. i came here to study plant physiology in the sixth grade. i studied and it was straight forward. here in this very room he was based. and of course, i have been fascinated by biology ever since. that is. so my path in science and in the profession began not just from this center and from this building. right directly from this room, where we are now in the laboratory. and of course, uh, i have different experiences. yes experience. uh, studying at the republican center for ecology of local lore, then it was called the station of young naturalists, then. uh, i relocated to the genetics and breeding interests association, oh, which i run. today and here are the students. this association is ours interest association is the oldest association. uh, a scientific profile for teaching

schoolchildren. science, it was organized in 1980. that is more than 40 years. history of this association. and the fact that the students who were the first to come to the association become, uh, teachers in this association of interests. it's very nice. and i'm one of them. such continuity is very important. well, of course, i also hope that one of my students will also become later. uh, the leader of this association of interests, who will have an interest in passing on their knowledge to the next generation. here is our first laboratory laboratory of environmental technologies, which begins the path to science for young researchers. and here they can get acquainted with microscopic research methods and learn how to work on the simplest laboratory equipment. here they

can also learn how to analyze water to obtain data on water quality, oxygen content of iron nitrates of various harmful substances. and another lab, it's not biological, but it's directly connected with ecology, this is a laboratory for meteorological observations and evaluating the state of atmospheric air. we have a professional meteorological station on the territory of the republican center that transmits information about the weather. e here to us in this class and then it is rendered on the computer. we can see what the temperature is now. how much rain fell? what wind? what is the wind speed of all these data every 15 minutes are recorded in the computer memory and then used to analyze the state of the weather, climate change, the state of the atmospheric air, we can already predict some changes in the

weather. children learn how the weather affects us living organisms, and also learn to predict the weather based on the accumulated data. one of the favorite and most visited places of the republican center by middle-aged children is, of course, a living corner, and guinea pigs, rabbits, all kinds of mice, chinchillas, birds, parrots, and many other birds of prey. ah. it is a very good way for children to communicate with the nature of children's recreation. this is a very good resource to teach children about caring attitude to the environment and responsible attitude to our smaller brothers in the form of play, as well as in the form of animal care, children receive a tremendous amount of knowledge about wildlife about the characteristics of animals, children

participate in all processes of caring for animals and clean cages and feed, so they grow already real biologists without disgust with an adequate attitude. to the animal world remembering myself in childhood and remembering myself from the stories of my parents. of course, i understand that i was a child with such early and brightly manifested interests, but not i want to say talent. yes, giftedness is something someone has to do outside. yes, outwardly, because you yourself never feel your giftedness. something outwardly should evaluate and define it, but the fact that i had an interest in biology from early childhood. i remember i had a favorite game, two games were my favorite when i was very young, i took a rack for me, it was such a small plastic testicle and the carpet in the bedroom was also along the edge of the carpet, well, flowers. and so i walked it like a testicle, as if pouring water with fake water, as if

water these flowers. well, my grandmother sprinkled her hands and said she would be an agronomist, she would be an agronomist. here, and then it was such a very cool game. my grandmother used to put me on the carpet, again. she fell asleep in front of me a mountain of beans. i, like cinderella , selected white color, but i could do this for hours. that's what could captivate me for hours. i became a professional breeder of leguminous plants. i have my own variety of beans, included in the state register of varieties of the republic of belarus, i always always have with me small containers. uh, the plastic ones are sterile so i can get some samples somewhere to isolate the microorganisms. hey, where would i go? wherever i go, i always collect, collect, collect some samples. uh, of course i try to collect seeds. i observe deviations in the field in some deviations, you

understand the eye of biologists. the eye is a breeder, he is like that, and the other is already a little. yes, he is already sharp on distinguishing things that are often not visible to an ordinary person, if we talk about technological works, then, of course, these samples are. there are a lot of directions in which it is interesting to study them as a source of isolation of all kinds of microorganisms. well , the most important thing is, of course, plant protection. and no one throws it away at my house. there, if somewhere something is rotten or some kind of mold has grown. everyone at home asks me if you need to go to work. there is no need for some kind of sample, because, of course, the family, too, cannot but be involved. she's always involved too when there's some big deal like that, big task for someone in the family. well, it’s good that we all coexist very harmoniously, biotechnological products, food products surround us from ancient times, yeast bread, sauerkraut, other pickled vegetables,

kombucha. yes, teaching abroad is very popular there. and in our country it was popular in soviet times, and we must now return to this very kambuchia. these are all biotech products, products created with the help of bacteria, all these words. precise products these are products that are very friendly to us : cheeses, curdled milk, kefir, any these kinds of products should be our daily diet, because they feed our microflora. they help the good good microflora to develop normally and kombucha is one of the important products of home biotechnology that helps us to coexist with our microbiome in the world. now, uh, there's a lot of research on how our microbial populations in our gastrointestinal tract are responsible for diseases such as type 2 diabetes, atherosclerosis , depression, and many other diseases and

right, building a relationship with our microbiome. we can help our body not to acquire these diseases in the first place of metabolism, so now the importance of studying microbiology is biotechnology. and the introduction of this biotechnology into our daily lives is not only important, it directly affects the health of our bodies. hello dear gardeners. my name is ivan russians. i welcome you on the ivanova science channel, we continue the conversation about the proper cultivation of seedlings. let's let's talk today about when you do not need to feed. the block is such a great resource for enlightening immersion, people who are interested in biology, and most importantly, teaching people

who grow plants, uh, who do horticulture and horticulture . teach them the technologies of caring for nature in the process of growing, in order to minimize harm to themselves and the environment. i am actually such a donkey gardener, too, since childhood. i always have on the balcony in some tomatoes and cucumbers grew in boxes when i was still a child and cucumbers grew on the windowsill in winter. everyone was surprised that you can eat your own cucumbers in the winter, but it was still those soviet times when it was hard to pamper yourself with fresh vegetables in the winter, and now i have, yes. a large plot of huge greenhouses for fifty square meters, where i, in general, have all the opportunities to implement my ideas in the field. uh, horticulture horticulture crop production april is the time to sow cucumbers pumpkin and squash for seedlings they don't need

a lot of time to grow before they are planted in a permanent place. but i strongly advise the viewers, uh, try to grow watermelons in april, sowing watermelons for seedlings is also a very good idea. try to grow watermelons in belarus watermelons. it has been grown on an industrial scale for several years and indeed it is very interesting and very tasty watermelons are obtained even in the vitebsk region. and this is just the plant that, on the one hand, is still unusual for our gardeners. on the other hand, it gives very good results. and you may well be satisfied with the taste as well. berries that you get directly from your garden, in order for a watermelon to grow even in the vitebsk region, you need to sow it for seedlings on time. this, well, approximately the time until mid-april can be done. uh, then it’s very good to fill the mail

with organic matter, it’s best if it’s organic fertilizer, well, decomposed compost into wax, chicken manure are such traditional fertilizers for belarusians. and of course, the warmest location that you are only on the site. now the whole world is worried about global climate change and global change. the climate affects not only issues such as health, but also affects agriculture unconditionally. this is food security, agriculture begins with crop production with plants that are food for us and animal feed, these are technical plants from which we get both biodiesel and clothing and everything else and old varieties not being adapted to new climatic conditions to climate change , they lose productivity. this certainly endangers both our food security and our well-being, so the process of creating new varieties is absolutely endless. he

constantly follows the changes that occur in nature for natural or anthropogenic reasons. well, that is because of human activity. i was still in school . i was already engaged in selection, just when i was engaged in an association, according to interests, we were engaged in a lecture on plants, we were engaged in selection a lot and mainly, soybean esr is a well-known leguminous plant and it is a passion for creating new varieties. soy. it spilled over into e, a fascination with another legume, the bean. i cross. i'm taking. i am creating a new variety. and it would seem that just classes in the association of interests, which gave, but the beginning for the huge work of many researchers. children

who want to do research work. well, at least just experiment them, of course, there are a lot of them. and unfortunately, not all of them have access to additional education institutions. and of course, we attract we attract children from the regions guys from the vitebsk region from the minsk region from the brest region from other places regularly go to classes here in minsk to the republican center. but these are units, of course, that they can afford, and such classes can be afforded in order to involve as many children as possible in research work, to involve and discover their talents, of course, our methodologists. i, including we are developing all sorts of experiments experiments that they can conduct or at home with without the use of complex equipment without the use of complex reagents and materials. we arrange master classes these master classes. available on the

youtube channel of our center and in order for as many children as possible to get involved in research work. of course, we are experimenting with something like that, inventing chemistry ourselves and suggesting that they reproduce these experiments and study the world around us. well, one of the simplest, but very interesting experiments that really attracts children. it is the study of plant pigments when something changes colour. yes, you add something to something and something happens. here in this. the moment when something happens and interest is born. but what happened there? and here are some simple experiments. of course, they develop very much one of the sources of plant pigments, which are also good for health, this is red cabbage, if you take an ordinary red cabbage broth, it is such a delicate purple color. these are anthocyanins plant pigments, which

are studied both at school and in different environments these pigments have different colors and different shade and in order to introduce children to such a phenomenon as indicators of the use of this red cabbage decoction extract, a very very good good choice. it is available to absolutely everyone with the help of this very red cabbage, guys can, for example, study the composition of soap. will the soap be alkaline or acidic enough to take a leaf of red cabbage, and lather it with soap and see how the color has changed, if the color has changed to green, then this means that the soap is alkaline for washing the skin daily, but not fits. and if the color has changed to pink, then this means that rea. weakly acidic and this is just the reaction that is

favorable for our skin, this is the soap that is especially now, when we are all very attentive to hygiene, well every day, hourly and constantly wash our hands in order to get rid of excess microbial, including viral pollution. here is a very simple experience and experiment, which, in fact, reveals to us fundamental knowledge about the accumulation of pigments and their properties and applied knowledge. we can test with ordinary red cabbage pigments. well, for example, some simple household items are also soap or washing powders or something else for safety and comfort for everyday use, and a boy came to my association once. he was in eighth grade. and at the very first lesson after i told. what is ethics genes, what is biology, what is this thing, what does it study? he somehow looked at

all our equipment on a jar of cones for a long time. there are some reagents that we have and at the end you asked a question you always say, are there any questions and he asked me a question. and is it possible to mix something like that with you so that something like this happens, i understand. of course i can mix. everything will happen. but this is the first indicator. the first sign that this is a child, what is needed, this cognitive interest was born in him naturally and it is very important for parents not to miss this cognitive interest of the child if they see that the child has interest in the surrounding world to the structure of the surrounding world. and if their own possibilities are limited. take your child to additional education, because it is there that he will receive, and the maximum for his development. it is very important. biology is such a

specific science that, of course, requires immersion in practice, if physics, mathematics, sciences are so more abstract, then chemistry, biology, biology, in particular , requires observation, when the guys from textbooks go directly to practical work and can look at the processes, which they teach at school with their own eyes directly in experiments in experiments, then, of course, knowledge is assimilated much better, and now the republican center gives them such an absolutely unique opportunity due to the fact that we have organized laboratories, a laboratory complex, and they are able to by microscopy, that is, to study the microworld , they have the opportunity to do microbiology, in fact, and the republic. the center is

the only educational institution for schoolchildren, students receiving a general secondary education, which can provide them with the opportunity to immerse themselves in such sections, and biology, such as biochemistry, microbiology and biotechnology, the laboratory allows us to study completely different objects. these are bacteria, and fungi, and protozoa and microalgae are completely different ones that students like the most. of course, they first study everything, but then each of them chooses the object that they like. and this is very important, because research work should be enjoyable. this is the most important guarantee of success for both a young scientist and an adult. as a scientist, what you study should really please you. such a large-scale involvement of gifted children of belarus in

research activities allows us to be competitive at the international level at the same time with the participation of a direct event. me and the guys. i have the opportunity to get acquainted with, uh, the nature of those countries where we visit the most amazing country in my opinion, which i was lucky to be, of course, peru and this country of diverse landscapes. there are plains there. there are deserts, there are, and a fee the mountains. there are uh, alpine tropical forests, if someone likes someone likes, such a journey is not to sit in one place on the beach, but to see different places with different nature, then i traveled as if i had visited different countries at the same time. i travel quite a lot, and in belarus too. and i probably rediscovered belarus for myself, and the amazing polesie

belorusskaya is simply amazing beauty of the place along the pripyat floodplain oak forests with colossal biological diversity, which is really a pearl of e not only europe but the pearl of the whole er, the whole planet. earth - this is a very beautiful place, very valuable for us, and i do not share. uh, the nature of belarus is better or the nature is in the tropics. it's better to be different. well, probably, where he was born, it came in handy. i would not be able to live, probably, the climate is still in the tropics. completely different. yes, to go there for a month to travel, to be on an expedition. it 's very interesting, but still live and exist. uh, it’s much more pleasant for me, here, uh, in the country and in the bosom of my native nature, and the nature of belarus is no less diverse than a kind of peru, and here you can find a swamp or a sa and meadows and uh, lakes are very beautiful and

all kinds of landscapes that u surprise foreigners certainly, and we are used to them, and therefore we rush to them, as to something that is given to us originally originally and maybe some people. uh, they don't think that it's some kind of value, but in fact it's very cool to travel, because traveling and you understand how valuable what you own here, what you can look at, what you can admire and what, of course, you are surprised every time you go out into nature?
