On December 26, Associate Professor Antonina Biesiedina from the Department of Biology conducted an event titled “Interesting Biology: The Secrets of Fingerprints” for 10th-grade students of KU Lyceum No. 33, Sumy City Council. During the event, students not only learned fascinating facts about fingerprints but also deciphered the patterns of their own prints.
They were assisted by first-year students of NNMU—Zakhar Sakhnenko, Tykhon Huz, Daria Neycheva, Viktoria Shuhayova, Vyacheslav Dachko, and Dmytro Bohomaz. The students explained that fingerprints can help predict an individual’s predisposition to the development of certain physical qualities, intellectual abilities, psychological traits, psychomotor skills, the detection of chromosomal diseases, determination of temperament, and more. This is because the development of skin patterns is influenced by the peculiarities of nervous system formation and a number of genetic factors.
The engaging practical activity sparked significant interest among the students. It was an exciting and emotional process that united the participants around a common goal, offering an excellent opportunity for self-expression, skill development, and making new acquaintances. The atmosphere was very friendly, filled with a spirit of support, and everyone left with only positive emotions and impressions. The students were sincere, welcoming, kind, and attentive; they worked diligently and listened carefully. Everything was well-organized, accessible, and easy to understand.
Such events not only contribute to the development of scientific skills but also foster a healthy atmosphere and teamwork aimed at achieving shared goals.
We sincerely thank everyone for the positive emotions!
