An insightful webinar was conducted by Dogra Degree College, Bari Brahmana under the department of Environmental Sciences. The speaker of the session was Miss Prabhjot Kaur, an INSPIRE-Senior PhD Scholar in Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar. The topic of the lecture was “Animal tissue culture and Bio-waste Management”. All the faculty and students took part in this online learning opportunity. The event was organized under the support of Mrs. Bela Thakur, the Principal by Miss Simran Devi, Lecturer in Environmental Science.
The topic, “Animal Tissue culture and Biowaste Management” was chosen from a point of view to acquaint students (under the syllabus of Environmental Studies-II) with practical work of management of bio-waste in laboratories and also to build an insight of students of non-science background with the scientific research as our speaker is herself a researcher. The presentation showed how the experiments are conducted in laboratories with animals and further how the bio-waste is sterilized, stored and disposed off with proper methods.
It was a very lively interaction although it ran on an online platform. The session began at 11 am on google meet.It commenced with the formal welcome address to the speaker of the day by Mrs. Priyanka Sharma, Lecturer in English; in between the presentation, the students confidently asked questions out of their curiosity in the topic presented and the speaker welcomed every question and satisfied the curiosity of the listeners; the session ended with a formal welcome note by Ms. Ritika Kundal, a student of B.A 2nd Sem.
It was overall an informative and learning experience for the students. After the session a feedback form was filled by attendees to give general comments and suggestion regarding the lecture.
