Science popularization: scientific and educational activities |
I gave lectures on the topics of astronomy during the events "Researchers' Nights" at Molėtai Astronomical Observatory. A publication has been prepared for the annual periodical „Lietuvos dangus“; Interviews were given to the science popularization program „Mokslo sriuba“. |
