We know the winner of the KSTU Science Battle

Yesterday evening, the V. Mayakovsky Library hosted the KSTU Science Battle. It took place as part of the University League of Science Battles — a project aimed at developing the Science Slam movement in Russian universities. The Science Slam Russia Association, the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, and MISIS University organize the league.

Five young scientists from KSTU presented their research in a popular science format. D. Ivanov presented his work entitled First Experience of Steelhead Trout Rearing in the Kaliningrad Region and spoke about the growth and survival rates of fish reared in a closed-loop water supply system (CLWS).

N. Sinitsyn presented a study entitled How to Predict the Evaporation of Petroleum Products?, and S. Khayretdinova presented a paper entitled Ecological Portrait of Underwater Citizens. She spoke about the species composition and structure of the juvenile fish community.

D. Evdokimov presented a study entitled From a Drop to a Kilowatt: Why Small Hydroelectric Power Stations Are a Serious Matter. The master's student explained why small hydroelectric power stations could become an important part of the electricity sector.

E. Romenskaya presented her paper Pension Reform for Zoos: Even If You’re Just Over 30…. The audience learnt about the characteristics of age-related changes in the animal kingdom.

The winner was determined by the volume of the audience’s applause. The winner was D. Evdokimov. He can now advance to the regional stage of the project. If he wins, he will compete in the All-Russian University Science Slam, held during the Congress of Young Scientists in St. Petersburg.
