Krzysztof Miler
Krzysztof obtained his MSc in Biology and an MA in Psychology from the Jagiellonian University (Poland). This was followed by a PhD in Biology from the same institution. Later, he completed a post-doc stay at Tel Aviv University (Israel). Currently, he's a professor at the Institute of Systematics and Evolution of Animals, PAS. His projects and interests focus on cognitive ecology and addiction biology.
Monika Ostap-Chec
Monika studied solitary bees for her two MSc degrees in Biology and Natural Resources Management obtained from the Jagiellonian University (Poland). Currently, she's a PhD student in Biology there and investigates the short- and long-term effects of dietary alcohol on the honeybee. Monika has beekeeping qualifications and a keen interest in popularizing knowledge about pollinators.
