A doctoral student from the Institute of Microbiology of BAS wins the annual doctoral scholarship of the Karoll Knowledge Foundation

Lidiya Kechidzhieva, a doctoral student in immunology at the Institute of Microbiology of BAS, is the new recipient of the annual doctoral scholarship of the Karoll Knowledge Foundation.

Fake medicinal products

The chairman of the Forum for Combating Pseudoscience at BAS, Acad. Ivan Juhnovski, filed a report with the Bulgarian Drug Agency regarding the widespread sale in Bulgarian pharmacies of over 40 fake medicinal products manufactured by the Boiron homeopathic company. The report is supported by Academician Dr. Bogdan Petrunov, Corresponding Member Dr. Tsvetalina Tankova, Academician Christo Tsvetanov, Academician Ivan Zagorchev, Academician Ivan Ivanov, and Prof. Ivan Ivanov.
