Nikola's perspective on meat consumption drastically changed after moving to India. Initially vegan for comfort, she soon embraced it fully after learning about animal husbandry's negative environmental impact. Though she hasn't eaten meat since, her focus has evolved from universal veganism to "reducetarianism," advocating for reduced meat consumption rather than complete abstinence.

Nikoleta Kováčová, also known as Surová dcérka (Raw Daughter), shares her journey on her blog, dcerka.sk. A vegan since October 2013, she covers ethical veganism, recipes, and cruelty-free cosmetics. She is set to publish "Slovegán," the first Slovak vegan cookbook. This summary relates to a TEDx talk. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.

Feather waste, a keratin-based byproduct of the food industry, poses a significant environmental challenge due to its slow decomposition. Current disposal methods often involve burning or chemical treatment. Microorganisms offer a more sustainable solution for breaking down this stubborn waste.

Beti, a Young Researcher at the Biotechnical Faculty, is passionate about microbiology. Her doctoral research focuses on using microbes to decompose keratin waste in the agro-industry. Beyond her lab work, Beti actively promotes science awareness, participating in events like the European Science Slam where she represented Slovenia. Her vision is to translate laboratory projects into practical applications, guided by the idea: "For those who are curious, the whole world is a laboratory."
