On Wednesday, September 4, 2024, the laboratories of the Biology Department at FMIPA UNTAN hosted a visit from students of SMA Negeri 1 Pontianak. The purpose of this visit was to familiarize the students with biological entities and the methodologies employed in practical applications and research within the biology laboratory. The visit encompassed five distinct laboratories: the General Biology Laboratory, the Plant Tissue Culture Laboratory, the Microbiology Laboratory, the Zoology Laboratory, and the Hydrobiology Laboratory. The students exhibited considerable enthusiasm while observing various insectariums that housed numerous butterfly species native to the West Kalimantan region. Additionally, several students expressed a keen interest in the research pertaining to plant tissue culture and animal preparations, which were outcomes of the practical work conducted by biology students at FMIPA UNTAN. This initiative aims to stimulate the interest of SMA Negeri 1 Pontianak students in the diverse and engaging field of biological sciences, while also promoting the vision and mission of the Biology Department in advancing biological sciences to support the utilization and conservation of germplasm in West Kalimantan.
