The Faculty of Biology UGM held 2019 Research Day on Friday (12/20). Through this event, 57 collaborative research findings from lecturers and students of the Faculty of Biology UGM were disseminated and evaluated in the form of posters. This event also included book exhibition and videos of the research results and community service conducted by the staff.
A public lecture was also held on the topic “Marine Resources”. This lecture is a dissemination of doctoral research results from the late Ratih Aryasari, S.Sc., M.Sc., presented by Juswono Budi Setiawan, S.Sc., M.Sc., (UGM Center for Marine Resources and Technology Studies), Dr.rer.nat. Edwin Setiawan, S.Si., M.Sc. (Biology Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember), Dr.rer.nat. Yosi Bayu Murti (Pharmacy UGM), and Bayu Rahmad (Program Manager of Coastal and Small Islands, KEHATI Foundation).
Lisna Hidayati, S.Si., M.Biotech., as one of the event organizers, stated that the public lecture was held as a tribute to the Faculty of Biology UGM to the deceased. She was a colleague of Lisna as a fellow lecturer at the Faculty of Biology UGM and did her doctoral program at Universität Göttingen, Germany.
“She was actually close to completing the research. Even one month before she died she had asked to publish her research in one of the faculty events. At that time I, who was also a committee member, already held her publication manuscript. Finally, when this event was planned, we were thinking of doing this public lecture,” she said.
Lisna hoped that in the future this kind of event can be held again. Thus, the results of research from UGM and in particular the Faculty of biology could be shared to the public. “That’s because this event is dedicated to students and lecturers. For students, it is a place to look for ideas and research supervisors. For lecturers, this event is a place to find research partners with similar interests,” she concluded.
