Colombian Biologist's Day

Every September 17, the day of the professional in biology is celebrated in Colombia, praising the work of thousands of professionals who work with living beings. Biologists are scientists whose studies are related to living organisms, their relationship with the environment, as well as evolutionary, molecular, phylogenetic and morphological aspects, among others. Thanks to new and modern techniques, biologists understand how living systems work and as a science, it is the fundamental basis of applied disciplines and specialties such as Animal Science, Veterinary Medicine, Ecology or Zoology.

This celebration, established by the National Council of Biology of Colombia in 1984, is an opportunity to celebrate the extraordinary work of biologists, scientists dedicated to the care and study of the environment, who are in a constant analysis of what happens in the ecosystem, observing what affects you and how you can recover.
