We recently organized a one-day workshop for a group of Advanced Level Biology students from Polonnaruwa. The workshop was coordinated and conducted by Mr. Ravindra Pethiyagoda, with the assistance of graduate teaching staff. As part of the workshop, the students had the opportunity to visit the Natural History Museum at the Department and engage in several practical modules focused on Animal Diversity, Anatomy, Histology and Molecular biology. It was an enriching experience for the students as they delved into these fascinating subjects.
The Zooර්ය මංගල්යය, an annual event organized by the Zoologists’ Association of the University of Sri Jayewardenepura, took place on April 30th at the university premises. The event provided a unique platform for students, staff, and their family members to come together and celebrate the Sinhala-Hindu New Year. It was a fun-filled event with many traditional games.
The ZSJP Snake Handling Workshop will be held on October 6th from 3 pm onwards at the Department of Zoology premises.
