Congratulations to the winner of Russian Scientific Foundation competition "Coducting fundamental and exploratory research by small and individual scientific groups", Oleg E. Lazebnyi, Project 25-28-00990 "Molecular and genetic components of aggressive behaviour in Hadza and Datoga children in the context of ontogenetic development".

01 November 
Within the framework of the Conference "Genetics and Individual Development" dedicated to the 120th anniversary of B.L. Astaurov and the Workshop "Genetic Modification and Cell Genome Analysis" the Contest for the best poster presentations of young scientists was held. Authors of 33 presentations from Russia and beyond participated in the competition. During the poster session any conference participants could vote for the best presentation by marking them with a heart-shaped sticker. The best posters were also chosen by experts in the expert committee.

As a result, three participants got the maximum number of votes from audience and expert committee and were awarded Diplomas and gifts from sponsors, as well as commemorative books about Academician B.L. Astaurov.
