In 2023, the national competition "Science to Wikipedia" was held and Darja was awarded one of the main prizes for her contributions. She wrote several scientific articles in Estonian intended for a general audience. For example, you can now read about:
* FRET
* Fluorescence quenching
* Lipinski's rule of five

Prof. Ago Rinken gave an interview in Estonian telling the story of his scientific journey. He also explained his research topic and why G protein-coupled receptor research is so vital. Importantly, he also talked about learning and teaching chemistry and emphasized that in order to understande chemistry one does not have to memorize facts like in History, rather "it is necessary to understand the inner logic of Chemistry".

We a proud to announce that Tõnis Laasfeld received the main prize of the 2023 National Research Competition for his doctoral thesis titled "Integrating Image Analysis and Quantitative Modeling for a Holistic View of GPCR Ligand Binding Dynamics". You can read more about the research Tõnis is doing here.
The winning doctoral thesis can be found here.

Our researchers Darja Lavõgina and Prof. Ago Rinken contributed to publishing a book "Rakubioloogia" ("Cell Biology") by Sulev Kuuse and Toivo Maimets. The book helps Estonian students to better comprehend the text as they can learn in their native language.
Our workgroup members were responsible for the chapter on signal transduction and also helped with the chapter about cell organelles. The web version of the book was available in 2018 and has been already used for teaching. Now,  the updated and improved paperback is published as well. 
The web version is available here and the paperback can be bought from the University of Tartu.
