The College of Biologists of Catalonia decided to promote April 25 as the “Biologist Day<\/strong>“, in memory of the date when James Watson and Francis Crick published the structure of DNA, in 1953. The aim of the Biologist Day is to make this profession known to the public and to give it prestige by conceding awards that recognize careers of great professional value<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The 2021 Biologist Day Awards<\/a> ceremony was held on April 22 this year. It was supposed to take place last April but the date has been postponed due to the health situation. The event took place in the Auditorium of the Official Association of Commercial Agents of Barcelona at 16:30 and could also be followed online. A total of seven prizes were awarded in all four categories.<\/p>\n

This year, two IDIBELL members have been awarded these prizes. On the one hand, Dr. Milagro Gonz\u00e1lez Garrigues<\/strong>, head of occupational risk prevention at IDIBELL until mid-2021, has received an award in the category of Professional Career, which recognizes members with a career that adds value and distinction in the profession. On the other hand, Dr. N\u00faria Sala i Serra<\/strong>, principal investigator of the nutrition and cancer<\/a> group of IDIBELL and ICO, has been awarded in the category of Research and Investigation, which aims to recognize members who lead or participate in a research group in the different fields of Biology.<\/p>\n
