The Hydatid Disease Research Center actively participated in the "Night of Science" event organized by Kerman University of Medical Sciences by setting up five educational and interactive stations aimed at introducing scientific concepts and promoting public awareness of infectious disease prevention and molecular biology.
The first station, entitled "Invisible Microbes," explained the importance of proper handwashing and highlighted the role of invisible pathogens in the transmission of infectious diseases.
At the second station, several common pathogens were displayed under microscopes, allowing visitors to observe them directly and gain a better understanding of the microbial world.
The third station focused on rabies prevention. Participants received practical information on how to behave safely when encountering dogs and the appropriate actions to take following an animal bite.
The fourth station introduced fundamental concepts of genetics through games and interactive activities. Participants learned about the transfer of genetic information from DNA and the process of protein production in an engaging and accessible manner.
At the fifth station, a "DNA Origami" activity was conducted to demonstrate the double-helix structure of DNA and how it is packaged and organized within cells through a hands-on and visually engaging experience.
The Hydatid Disease Research Center's active participation in this event provided a valuable opportunity to promote science, enhance public health literacy, and strengthen communication between researchers and the wider community.
