BIO299 – Forskningspraksis i biologi


Eg heiter Ingvild og går 3. året på bachelor i biologi ved Universitetet i Bergen. Hausten 2025 har eg tatt faget BIO299 «Forskingspraksis i biologi», der eg hadde eit prosjekt knytt til bedrifta Runde Forsking på Sunnmøre. Eg hadde høyrt om Runde Forsking før, og kunne gjerne tenke meg å […]

Kablane vi er heilt avhengige av – korleis påverker dei ...






















By Viljar Storvik BIO299 – Research Practice in Biology When I started my BIO299 project, I had a clear goal: examine the pollen of Hedlundia lancifolia, a known hybrid species, and determine whether its pollen is morphologically distinct enough to be recognized in sediment cores. The logic was straightforward: by […]

When science leaves you wondering




Once they enter the chaotic and hard world of higher education, countless students ponder their future. What will happen once you have obtained the degree?

Always part of the bigger picture



Have you ever wondered how fungal mycelium in soil impacts climate change? My name is Lily Truong and in BIO299, I dug into the fascinating world of fungal decomposition to uncover how different types of mycelium break down under various climate conditions and what that means for carbon storage in […]

From Soil to Solutions




















Deep beneath the ocean’s surface, hidden ecosystems thrive in the darkness. Hydrothermal vents release water rich in chemicals that allow life to adapt to extreme conditions. In these unique environments, the primary producers don’t use sunlight, instead microbes use the strong chemical gradient to support a complex ecosystem. Some of […]
