Dr. Šmídová’s work has earned global recognition, evidenced by 263 citations in the WOS database and an impressive H-index of 9. She is a respected peer of leading international experts in her field. 🌟

Her research explores the early evolution of cockroaches through exceptional fossil specimens preserved in amber, providing invaluable insights into Mesozoic and Paleogene terrestrial ecosystems.

Dr. Lucia Šmídová Recipient of the Best Dissertation Award for her groundbreaking work titled: "Cockroaches from Myanmar Amber and Their Phylogenetic Significance." 🪳💎

Václav Kachlík’s entire career has been devoted to teaching, research, and academic service at our faculty. As a rare "species" of field geologist, his expertise is in high demand both in Central Europe and internationally.

Assoc. Prof. Václav Kachlík Awarded the Silver Memorial Medal for his exceptional contributions as a field geologist. 🌍 A leading expert in the geology of the Bohemian Massif, Central Europe, and beyond, he is celebrated for his understanding of geological structures. 👏

🎖 Dean's Awards of the Faculty of Science, Charles University 2024 🎖 During the Christmas concert at the Karolinum in Prague, the Dean's Awards were presented. Let’s introduce the laureates from our institute who received these prestigious honors! 🧵👇
