We continue in our tradition of financially supporting animals at ZOO Brno. While last year we financially supported wolves, this time, most people voted for the cute and captivating Llama Vicuna. Read more to see the photos from our recent visit to the zoo, where we said hi to Vicuna and many other animals.
In IRTIS, we care about animals. This year we voted to financially support llama vicuna (Vicugna vicugna), a species native to the Andean highlands of South America, primarily found in Peru, Bolivia, and Chile. These funny creatures are known for their soft, fine wool, which has been prized for centuries. However, their population has faced significant threats due to hunting and habitat loss.
Last week, part of our IRTIS team took the opportunity to visit Brno Zoo and meet the llama vicunas we have been supporting. Apart from llamas, we were also captivated by the red panda, kangaroos, meerkats, safari, and many other features of the ZOO - just see in the gallery!
With December here and the semester wrapping up, we closed out 2024 by hosting an engaging research workshop on new trends in experimental design. It was a perfect opportunity to dive into cutting-edge methods, spark fresh ideas, and reflect on how innovation continues to drive research forward.
We published a new research report, "Cyberhate targeting the body: Young Czech people’s perceptions of cyberhate that targets weight and physical disability". Read more in the article.
